I see in that photo the fine makings for a beautiful soup. Have you tried lettuce? Lettuce is a nice flavor with pea soup. Personally, I like to cut a variety of lettuce's a bit chunky and then braise them before adding stock. Incidentally, a little less stock is needed. This is a nice variation for ant nearly any split-pea soup recipe The great thing about split pea soup is that is that once you find a recipe you like it is easy to work around that recipe with a comfortable versatility. Other suggestion: - Add Caraway (omit thyme if you use it) - I like to add Sherry or Madeira to the soup just before serving. This gives the soup a nice ethereal quality. - Replace the meat: Try short ribs, or the trimmings from a roasted leg of lamb. Sometime mild sausages can be a nice addition along with any of the meats I just mentioned. -Garnish with a little cream, lightly whipped, and perhaps flavored with citrus zest. Man, I'm getting a craving for pea-soup now. I may have to inflict my friends with some of these ideas. Do you think this is a acceptable cinco de mayo pot luck dish?? Yum!
