Question: I haven't made pea soup in years because my spouce won't eat anything green that looks like puke...

Anyway, I use to use the recipe that was on the bag and I finally convinced him to let me make it, but the bag didn't have the recipe..!

This is a fairly simple recipe that I made last week. It's from a beginner's cookbook because the recipe didn't come on the back of my bag either:
1 lb. split peas
1 large onion, chopped
2 large carrots, thinly sliced
1 hambone, preferably with enough meat to make 1 1/2 cups
7 cups chicken broth or water
1 bayleaf
Add all ingredients to a large pot, bring to a boil and simmer 1-1 hour, 15 minutes. Remove bone and take off meat. Return meat to soup.
Enjoy!
It was yum-o

What brand of peas did you want the recipe for? Different brands have different recipes for the soup. This is the recipe on the bag for Jack Rabbit's green split peas.

1 (16 oz. pkg.) Jack Rabbit Green Split Pea Beans
3 quarts water
1 small ham shank
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 chicken bouillon cubes (or 2 Tbsp. instant chicken bouillon)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp oregano leaves
1/4 to 1/2 tsp pepper
1 bay leaf
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced carrots
1 cup chopped celery

In large deep pot, combine peas, water, ham shank, onion, chicken bouillon and seasonings. Simmer, uncovered, 1 1/2 hours.

Remove ham shank; trim meat off bone and return meat to pot. Stir in carrots and celery. Simmer, uncovered, an additional 2 to 2 1/2 hours or until soup reaches desired thickness.

This is the one I use - I hope it is what you are looking for and that it helps.
