We love it and it is so easy to make, once you've tried it, you will make it more than once! This soup tastes different from our previous split pea recipe. Enjoy!

Put all the ingredients in a pot with 3 cups of water over medium fire and cook, adding water every now and then, as needed, till the split peas are soft. Test by taking one with a spoon. If soft. Let cool a little bit and process in the blender till smooth. Serve with rice, mashed potatoes or baked yams as a side dish. Add a good bread and a nice salad. Delicious!
