Nice flavor from the ham bone. I've never added beer to soup before but that was even good. It just had a little to much water in it for me. I used 8 cups of water and did not soak the peas. Maybe 6 cups would have been better for me. For the inquiry mind, 2 cups dried split peas is equal to a 16 ounce bag. Made for *Zaar Tag* game 2007
