This recipe makes delicious split pea soup. Next time I may reduce or not include the salt. It was a touch salty for my taste and salt isnt good for you!! I didnt add the sherry but did add the carrots!! Easy to make and delicious!! You should def try this at home.

I agree with Jess! I couldn't see this with more salt! I use a smoked pork neck and only add garlic and pepper. I don't use the sherry and blend mine until thick and smooth. I hate to say it but I usually give the meat to my dogs once the flavor is extracted! Eh... they love me lol! Simple and delicious! It is the perfect winter dinner!
