I think this is our #1 all time family favorite and it's often requested for birthday dinners. It's the 'Bestest' because my daughter described it as such when she was little. This freezes well and I've added directions for that and for reheating.

Very nice meal all in one, served it with cornbread. I followed the recipe exactly. The reason why I am rating it 4 stars is because the split peas were under cooked, and the macaroni was over cooked. The overall flavor was delicious, will definitely make again, but will leave out the split peas next time.

Loveit! I didn't have dried, split peas so I added frozen peas in the last 15 min and it didn't hurt a bit. I will make this again and again. It's "The bestest" The kid was right!

Outstanding soup that I'd make again! Hubby even said it should have more than 5 stars 
I left out the salt & seasoning salt as I didn't think it was needed, used a jar of pasta sauce for the tomato sauce, added fresh onion & garlic because we like them, but everything else I followed. Delicious flavours, simple to pull together & I loved the addition of the split peas. I didn't add extra water as I liked the consistency, but found that the leftovers are much thicker because the pasta has absorbed all the liquid. Next time I may add noodles separately, but no real problems here Thank you for sharing your wonderful family recipe.
