    I made this for my DS as a take-home meal, I only used a pinch of cardamom as I wasn't sure how it would be, I have never added in cardamom to pea soup before, this soup is really good! thanks Bunny Mom...Kitten

    This is a delicious, hearty soup. The cinnamon and cardamom flavors were prominent and make this different and good. The only change I made was to add a whole cup of rice, and top with shredded parmesan. This is a keeper. Thanks!
