Just curious how much a serving is? 1 cup? I’m doing WW and figured out the points would be 7 but it’s always nice to know how much I can have. Thanks!!
Christine, my mother-in-law was on weight watchers, and she suggested you just serve a comfortable portion for your meal, such as 1 cup or 1 1/2 cup, so you can figure your points. Hope this helps and Happy Crocking!
I would like to know that after I gave you $0.99 that went I try to go to one of the recipies on face book it sends me to your site and I have to go looking for your recipe. Why did I give u any money. Correct this BS.
Michael you should go directly to the recipe. For instance on the post on Facebook, there is a link above the picture such as for Split Pea and Ham, http://bit.ly/KimQPm … If you click on this link it should take you to the recipe. Hope this helps you!
Could you omit the ginger? I’m not a big fan of ginger it bothers my tummy.
You can Amy, and if you’d like a substitute for the ginger you can substitute with allspice; cinnamon; mace or nutmeg, or a combination of any of the spices! Hope this helps and Happy Crocking!
When do you add the potatoes?
Oops Beth! Thank you for calling this to my attention! I have corrected the recipe! Enjoy!
Oddly enough about three days before you posted this recipe I had been craving some split pea soup, something I haven’t had in years. Then this popped up in my Facebook news feed and I was ecstatic because I still had ham in the freezer from Christmas dinner. This recipe was AMAZING!!! I cooked this with the ham bone in the crock pot and used just under 1/4tsp of ground ginger (I didn’t have any fresh) and I ended up cooking it on low for about 10hrs because I was gone all day but it still turned out wonderful. Thanks… Read more »
Thanks for the feedback Malissa…. so glad you enjoyed! Now you have another go to meal… 🙂
Nancy please make this recipe your own, and it will change the flavor some, but you must do what works for you. It will still be tasty! Enjoy and Happy Crocking!
This was wonderful!!! Ty!!
i am allergic to ginger. if i leave out will that change anything? is there a different spice i can use in its place?
You can leave it out, but a good substitute would be cinnamon or AllSpice, but check the allspice, as I am not sure if it has ginger in it. Thanks for the question Nancy, and Happy Crocking!
Does this freeze well? I”m making it right now, but it’s alot for just 2 people. I would like to freeze the leftovers.
Yes Lisa it will freeze well. Just be sure to date your soup, and use it within the next 3 months for best results! Enjoy and Happy Crocking!
is this with canned split peas?
Hi Annie, no this is not canned split peas! Thanks for the questions! 🙂
I have made this many times and everyone in the family enjoys it. Some times I add in garlic powder and we always enjoy our bowls with cheddar cheese on top and crackers or bread on the side. This is a keeper for us. =)
