My grandmother lived with us and she used to make this soup. It was always a family favorite, especially with my Dad. It was his favorite soup. I always made it for him too.
This looks like my mom's split pea recipe ... only difference is I don't remember her using tomato soup!
I'll have to try this one. I just bought some split peas last week since it's soup season, and I'm planning on ham for Christmas dinner. I'll let you know how it turns out!
And with MIL coming for Christmas, she's going to be making her 'famous' Navy bean and ham soup! Yay!!!
Thanks again!
