I was so happy I easily found all the ingredients in my cupboard for this recipe! The split pea has a terrific flavor, and my husband said it was a lot better than traditional split pea soup! |

This was pretty tasty, nice flavor and super easy to make. I added a couple of leftover carrots and new potatoes, next time I think I'll puree half the soup to give it a different texture. |

Very tasty, easy to make, and inexpensive! Plus, the whole kitchen smelled wonderful while it was cooking. I pureed it for a creamier texture and a bowl made for a filling, lovely meal. |

This soup is so lovely. It makes the kitchen smell wonderful, and I was so excited to have such a delicious homemade soup in so little time. I tried the recipe several weeks ago (served over rice and with some baby spinach and tofu), and then today I found myself desperately wanting it again. I can't wait for dinner. |

This was my first recipe from Vegan with a Vengeance. I forgot to put the ginger in, so I exchanged it for some chili. It turned out very delicious. I will freeze about half for later. |

I wanted to make something a little different from the usual soup/chowder/stew, but easy to put together, too. Everything everyone else said about this soup is true! It is delicious, satisfying, really good over rice; I will be making it regularly and enjoying it lots. |
