Useful tips for Split Pea Soup

You can always add more salt and thyme.

Remember, we’re using dried peas. So they take a little while to cook through. We like the slightly chewy flavor and texture after cooking them for an hour. You can always cook for a bit longer if you prefer a smoother split pea soup.
