This is the worst split pea soup I've ever had. It's watery and tasteless.

This soup is good, but it's not as flavorful as I was hoping. I think I'll try adding some more spices next time.

This soup was a little bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper, and it was much better. I also added some chopped carrots and celery to the soup, and it turned out great.

This soup is delicious, but it's a little too thick for my taste. I added some extra water to thin it out, and it was perfect. I also added some chopped carrots and celery to the soup, and it turned out great.

I'm not a big fan of split pea soup, but this recipe changed my mind. This soup is so creamy and flavorful, and it's perfect for a cold winter day. I will definitely be making this soup again.

This soup was a hit with my family! Even my picky kids loved it. I used vegetable broth instead of ham bone, and it was still very flavorful. I will definitely be making this soup again.
