To me, this spicy pea soup is total comfort food. I cook it low and slow all day, and it fills the house with a yummy aroma. It's so good with a nice, crispy baguette. -Chelsea Tichenor, Huntington Beach, California

I followed the recipe, but my soup didn't turn out as thick as I would have liked. I think I'll try simmering it for longer next time.

The soup was a bit bland for my taste, but it was still good. I think I'll add more jalapeño next time.
