Get out your crock pot in the morning . Dump in a bag of split peas . Throw in some sliced smoked pork shanks and some smokey bacon . chop up a bunch of baby carrots and throw them in- Take you 3 shallots and chop them up and they go in . Add about 6 cups of water and turn it up on high . Cook it down all day long . No spices necessary or recommended . My mother in law says serve it with popcorn . Heck I'll try it . Got me a batch a goin' right now .

YUM! I may have to make some today. I do a lot of homemade soups. Split pea is a favorite of ours. I've never used shallots though - usually throw in a mire poix of carrots, celery and onions with diced bacon, drain, then add the split peas and water. But I also throw in a boullion cube for added flavor.

I like your way too . Just do it caveman style . I bet some chicken stock instead of water would be sweet . You gave me an idea

Is there a substitute for the split peas. Can’t stand split peas any shape or form

Try lentils or Lima Beans

I've made lentil soup using almost the same recipe. I usually add a bay leaf or three too. Sometimes a little parsley and rosemary.
