An easy and flavorful take on split pea soup. (Note: I often strain out the pieces of pork belly and run the soup through my food processor - I like my split pea soup really thick and creamy!)

This soup is a great make-ahead meal. I made it on the weekend and then ate it for lunch all week.

I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted tofu for the pork belly. The soup was still really good!

This soup was a little bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

This soup was easy to make and turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add more salt and pepper to taste.

I'm not a big fan of pork belly, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try anyway. I'm glad I did! The pork belly added a lot of flavor to the soup, and it was really tender.

My grandmother used to make split pea soup every winter. Her recipe was a little different than this one, but it was just as delicious. This soup is so comforting and filling, and it's perfect for a cold day.
