Ugh- no!

When my little brother and I were kidlins, mom lost her mind and gave us split pea soup for lunch once. Whaaa?

I spent a goodly amount of time sneaking my soup into his soup by the spoonful every time she turned her back.

The green trail of pea soup droplets gave me away and I got a brain duster for my trouble.

If James and I somehow ended up with bowls of split pea soup, I'd do it again.

Split pea soup is like butternut squash. It is just a base. If that is all you do with it, then it isn't going to have much flavor to it. I do a split pea and sausage soup that is pretty tasty. Butternut squash I still have a hard time coming up with an upscale combination of flavors to layer into it to not have it as mostly that odd flavored butternut squash as the dominant thing on the palate.
