Uncle Bill's Green Split Pea With Hambone Soup

This is one of the best-tasting soups I've ever made. I used some chicken broth, as you mentioned -- about 6 cups low-sodium broth and 2 cups water. I didn't have to adjust any of the seasonings or proportions in the recipe -- I can always count on Uncle Bill to post a recipe that is a 10-star; I never make one and then think I will tweak it next time. They're always perfect just as written. I pureed half of the soup in the blender; this made a nice and thick soup with still some texture. The three of us finished this in one night, with some crusty rolls. I can't wait to make it again, it's SO good. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

FANTASTIC!!!! I had a huge ham bone sitting in my freezer, and I wanted to make your recipe, I was just waiting for a cooler day, and today was it! I used 5 cups of chicken broth and 5 cups water in place of all 12 cups water, and only used 1 beef cube... wonderful smokey taste that thickened up to just the right consistancy. I let it simmer slowley for about 2 hours, we really enjoyed this with homemade crusty buns...Uncle Bill has done it again! thanks for another winner!...Kitten:)

My family swore they hated split pea soup, but I love it so I made this recipe. Well, I now have a family of converts. Everyone loved it!!!! Thank you!

Not that I would start ordering this at restaurants but this split pea soup's flavor was very good and I loved how healthy it is! My 1.5 year old boy asked for more! I was surprised I enjoyed it, since I am not a big fan of gritty texture that beans and split peas have. I will probably make again since it wont be the last time I buy a large ham it was great using all of the ham and the tiny pieces that break off the ham. Thanks for making it so simple! I did use extra carrots, celery, and thyme. I used 2 bay leafs and 3 beef bouillon cubes. Thanks again!

Thanks for sharing this. First time making it. The taste is exactly what i know about split pea soup. I followed the direction but just left the pea boiling in the pot for another 30 mins. Pureed half of the soup to smooth out a bit the pieces of carrots. Topped with ham and crostini. Uh...mazing!!!
