Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
So Paulene, you didn’t pre-soak/cook the green split peas? Looks great
This particular recipe isn’t mine. It doesn’t appear that they were soaked etc. My own pea and ham soup HERE that I do I don’t soak mine BUT I then cook it on HIGH to be sure it’s cooked
