    You finally posted something that I just won't eat. Ever. I tried it once and it was awful. Apparently it's an acquired taste and I didn't acquire that taste.

    Have a lovely day my friend. Big hugs. Hello to Tammy. ♥♥♥

    Split pea soup was one of my favorite when I was a kid, but I didn't have it for a very long time. Thanks for bringing back memories :)

    I am so excited to see my all time favorite pea soup. I like how you did that with the red onions. I always put a dollop of sour cream too. sandie

    As a kid, I hated pea soup! I didn't like the texture. But as an adult, it is one of my favorites. I've never made it, so I'm going to pin yours!
