For breakfast, try this cheese omelette. Nothing brings my spouse more joy than an omelette. It’s crucial to maintain the temperature of an omelette low while cooking it since you don’t want it to brown.

I’ve been making this recipe for many years. Nowadays I cook it in the Instant Pot for 20 minutes and give a quick zip with the immersion blender. Comes out perfect every time.
Made a larger portion. Came out terrific. Perfect split pea soup taste & consistency.
I liked the flavors; did bump up the curry a bit.
Nice soup, couldn’t be easier to make. I doubled the curry
Good base recipe and I love the addition of curry powder. I think that made the soup! 4 stars due to things I changed based on reviews. I read suggestions of soaking the split peas (I only had green and boiled water then soaked for one hour). I also used vegetable broth instead of water and omitted salt due to seeing reviews talking about blandness. Everything else was the same! I ended up simmering uncovered for 45 minutes and covered for 30 minutes to get the right consistency. I’ll definitely be making again (with the revisions of course)!!
I added leeks, and a little bacon fat. (We’re faux vegans.) I also doubled it and am so glad I did. Everyone loved it.
Awesome
Great recipe! we did everything folks suggested – soak over night, add cumin, add potatoes (we do red), blend 1/2 when almost done to smooth it out.
Great recipe and so easy to make! I also added butternut squash and a little bit of cayenne pepper. It’s delicious!!
Bland and watery.
This is delicious and easy to make! Very thick so I put it over rice.
I found it very delicious, the curry added an extra zest to it, I used split green peas. such a simple recipe!!! I also used basil and thyme, also added veggie bouillon to the broth extra tasty
I loved it!!! My two year old devoured it and asked for seconds. It was so amazing and filling. I used 1/2 tsp of curry paste to substitute the curry powder and it gave it a tiny kick which just pushed it over the top. I will absolutely be making this again.
I loved it!, but I made some minor changes after reading several review and substituted some ingredients which I did not have: – Doubled the amount of curry powder. It was still subtle but it added complexity to the taste. – Added 1 tsp of chopped garlic – Added 1 potato in small cubes (I did not have any carrots) – Added a pinch of spicy dried red pepper – I also used green split peas (I did not have yellow) The soup was great, but next time I will double the recipe, we barely had enough for 4 medium bowls. Also, the texture is a bit runny, my suggesiton is to add maybe 1/2 cup less or simmer uncovered.
i doubled the carrots and celery and soaked the peas overnight. An excellent soup for Gluten free diets too.
I doubled this recipe and to it I added 1 pound of cooked, diced, smoked turkey bacon. Also 4 chicken bouillon cubes and soaked the peas overnight.I only used green peas. In the morning I washed the peas and then added all the ingredients. This tasted as good as regular split pea recipes Ive used with a fatty pork bone but this is way healthier. Will make this again and again, yummy.
Love this soup!! I don’t soak the peas (I use green), just cook it a bit longer. Other than that I follow the original recipe. Everyone loves it and asks for the recipe.
Delicious…. the hint of curry is perfect!
Bland and unappealing
I followed the recipe exactly except when it was time to mix the split pea water with the vegetables, I just poured in some of the water to get all of the spices from the pan of vegetables to the pot of peas. Tasted delicious! I also simmered the peas for about 10 minutes before actually making the soup and let them soak for one hour. It did help the peas soften up but I blended the soup at the end anyways since I prefer creamier textured split pea soup. For someone who doesn’t like peas at all normally, this soup was great! If you don’t like peas, don’t let the smell of them boiling dissuade you from trying it, you’ll love it!
Delicious and healthy! Love the creamy texture.
