Wow, Steve!
A friend and I came in and I had your Split Pea Soup. This was absolutely wonderful! I have never had it before nor have I ever wanted it. Tired it there and loved it!
Is there any way that you would be willing to share your recipe with me or tell me some of your ingredients. I would really like to try and make some for my family. They look at me like I'm crazy when I tell them it was so good.
Thanks for your consideration!

Morning Cathy, Sorry it took so long to get back with you. We're glad you enjoyed our Soup. I don't cook by recipe so I'll give you the general, quick basics of the Split Pea Soup.
4 Boxes Chicken Broth
1 small can Beef Consomme
2 Med Bags Frozen Peas
Chopped Garlic
2 Diced Yellow Onions
3 Tomatoes
2 individual Chipotle Peppers in adobo sauce
1/2 bunch fresh Cilantro
3 teaspoons Cumin
1 teaspoon Black Pepper
1 quart Heavy Cream
shredded parmesan
crushed Fritos
Place chopped onion and chopped garlic into soup pot. Add chicken broth and beef consomme. Turn heat to med and bring to slow boil. Add frozen peas and cook for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Chop tomatoes, 2 chipotle peppers, and 1/2 bunch of washed cilantro and add to soup pot. Blend with immersion blender or puree in blender/food processor in small batches. While on low heat add cumin, black pepper and heavy cream. Serve soon with grated parmesan if desired. Crushed Fritos are also very good served on top! Gives it another layer of flavor and that's usually well received.
Good Luck. I know yours will be delicious too!
