Mari whenever I see Green Pea Soup I think of the children's book, George and Martha. Martha made pea soup for George but he did not like it...he put it in his shoes to keep from hurting Martha's feelings. I am with George on this one...though I am sure for those who like Pea Soup it is delicious.
That's sweet of you Mari. I always buy a ham for New Year's and we have ham soup too. I don't use a recipe, lol but if I had one it looks pretty similar to what you use.
That looks like comfort food/soup for sure. Will have to try it here, although Ham is not so easy to find here.
My kids and now my Grands love that book....George and Martha are so fun!!
Sounds so good. Not sure the rest of the bunch in this house would agree though!
Home made green pea soup! Sounds terrific.
Oh, that looks so good. I need to make some pea soup, this would be a good weekend for that.
I love pea soup! I make it pretty often myself, with whatever is left from the Christmas and Easter hams. I have one planned for two weeks from now.
Can you believe I have never eaten pea soup? I will have to give it a try, using your recipe.
I love pea soup, and that looks delish! I've actually never made it, but remember that Mom did. :)

You know, I have never had any kind of pea soup, but this one looks oh-so-good! Thank you for sharing, dear Mari. Hugs!
Homemade pea soup was my mother's favorite soup, Mari. Seeing your post made me smile. xx
Pea soup is one of my top five favorites, but I have never made it from scratch before. I will keep this recipe to try soon! Yum!
I love this soup too!
Wow, this makes me hungry!! It looks just like the split pea soup I make occasionally. But not this winter so far. I always make bran muffins to go with it. A most comforting meal for a cold winter evening.
Ah! My mouth is watering. I haven't had split pea soup in years and I love it. I may have to make this one! xoxo
