This soup was a bit too thick for my taste. I added some water and it was perfect.

This soup was a little too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I'll probably use less cayenne pepper next time.

The carrots and split peas cook perfectly in this soup. They're soft and tender, but still have a little bit of texture.
