Jamaican Golden Split Pea Soup image

A wonderful, simple soup, which can easily be made vegetarian by substituting vegetable broth for the chicken broth. I like to garnish with a dollop of creme fraiche and a sprinkle of chopped chives or parsley. Beer is an excellent accompaniment to this soup.

I'm not a huge fan of split pea soup, but this recipe was really good. The addition of the coconut milk and spices gives it a really unique and flavorful taste.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover ham. It's also a great soup to make ahead of time and freeze for later.
