You are welcome

Dad loved this soup it was his favorite and the favorite of my siblings, though I have to say I love his Pea soup better ~ and the funny thing is I don't like peas but I absolutely crave my father's pea soup and there is only one other way I eat peas and that is a side dish that my brother in law makes: Italian peas and mushrooms ~ I'll post this at a later time ~

I Love peas in a cold salad. I never had Italian peas and mushrooms, I would Love to see the recipe. I do Love good split pea soup. I don't know if I'm that ambitious to make a whole pot. Cookie
