A Perfected Pea Soup Recipe

A Soup Recipe so good, your kids will ask for more!

Pea soup is a dish that daunts children all over the world. I have a very distinct memory of nearly being force-fed this dish in my early childhood by an overzealous and belligerent grandmother.

But the truth of the matter is, it doesn’t have to be this way.

Years later I stumbled upon a soup recipe with fresh or frozen green split peas that improved upon the recipe so much that not only do I make it myself, I actually look forward to preparing it whenever I get the craving as much as this potato soup recipe. You read that right – you (and children all over the world) will certainly crave this dish! Simply put, it is so simple and flavorful you will fall in love at first sight with this tasty bright green bowl!
