The Split Pea & Sweet Potato soup sounds promising. Going to try it with Indian spices instead of the bay leaf. And snow peas are always wonderful!

I love frozen and fresh peas but I always forget that I have the frozen ones. I'll add them to something this week thanks for the ideas. Report

I make up a Pea Salad, I thought it was from JoAnna M. Lund's "Healthy Exchanges" cookbook, but I can't find it right now.... It used frozen peas run under water to thaw and add chopped up onion, celery and red pepper., and olives. The dressing was just maio and milk seasoned with sugar sub. to taste.... I love it.

My mother used to always use those canned mushy peas so I didn' t eat them for years either, but the frozen ones are so much better. Report

I add peas to orzo and sprinkle a little feta cheese on top for a quick side dish. Report

I LOVE peas. Not those nasty snap pea things or oriental variations. Yech! It is practically impossible to improve on fresh peas with a bit of your favorite butter. I am disappointed that a recipe for something with nice garden peas and a flavorful topping was not included. Report

Sorry but I still DISLIKE COOKED peas - I hate the aftertaste and the fact that my screwed up parents FORCED me to eat them as a kid. Some things stay with you FOREVER. Report

I have found that I really like yellow pea soup better than green pea... Report

Wow, sweet pea guacamole, an interesting concept although I think there is more nutritional benefits in avocado. Might try it if I ever need a quick substitution. Report

Not crazy about split pea soup (or peas in general for that matter). I'm absolutely going to try the split pea and sweet potato soup though. I'm trying very hard to be a grown up and eat my peas!! Report

Don't care much for peas. My mother use to make Pea Soup with ham that was actually very thick and rich. Report

Thanks for the pea recipes and the blog! These all sound good. Love pea soup. It's so easy to add a handful of delicious peas to stews and soups, casseroles and pasta dishes. They add color, flavor and nutrition. Yummy! Report

I LOVE peas (only frozen or fresh!) so much I crave them at times that I have to go to the grocery store to get a bag and have a bowl of them! I already add them to a lot of dishes so this will be a nice treat to try something different! Thank you!! Report

One thing I've learned about split pea soup...DO NOT STIR IT while it's cooking! It will turn into Split Pea Concrete. Let it do its thing, then when you're ready to serve, give it a stir. What looks like green-colored water will turn into a lovely creamy soup. Report
