"Usually when I try to cook something new, such as split pea soup for example, I like to find a few recipes online, see what I have on hand and what reviews say and set out on my own adventure! This seemed like the perfect base and I was right!! Used about 1 1/4 C green split peas (all I had but added a small peeled, diced butternut squash & large fresh jalepeno. Think I had a little less than a full T of curry powder left at the time. Subbed coconut oil with the sweating garlic & onions. And cooked up 3 slices of all-natural bacon chopped in a pan on the side and stirred it in to simmer. It was so delicious! Such a keeper; my husband went back for seconds and that is definitely a first for pea soup!!"
