This soup was easy to make and very tasty. I used a ham bone instead of ham hocks, and it turned out great.

I'm not a big fan of split pea soup, but this recipe changed my mind. The ham hocks and carrots added a lot of flavor, and the soup was really creamy.

This was a great recipe! I used leftover ham from Easter dinner, and it was perfect. The soup was thick and creamy, and the flavors were spot-on.
