Golden Split Pea Soup image

This is from my Low-Fat Moosewood cookbook. Your house will smell like an Indian restaurant! The soup is a beautiful dark gold color. Don't use green or brown lentils, it just won't be the same. This makes a lot, but you can freeze it. Even my one year old loves this! Serve topped with plain yogurt and chopped cilantro. Pass pita bread.

This soup is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not great either.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out really bland. I think I might have used too much water.

I'm not a huge fan of split pea soup, but this recipe is actually really good. The ham and vegetables add a lot of flavor, and the soup is really creamy and satisfying.

I've made this soup several times now, and it's always a hit with my family and friends. The best part is that it's so easy to make! I usually use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth, and it turns out just as good.
