This soup exceeded my expectations! I'm not usually a fan of split pea soup, but this one was delicious. The lemon and dill added a nice brightness to the soup and the split peas were cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this soup again.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover split peas. It's also very affordable and easy to make. I love the way the lemon and dill brighten up the flavor of the soup.

Not a fan. The soup was too tart for my taste and the split peas were mushy.

This soup is my go-to comfort food. It's so easy to make and it's always delicious. I love the creamy texture and the bright flavor of the lemon. I always add a little bit of chopped bacon to give it a smoky flavor.

This soup was a disappointment. It was bland and lacked flavor. I wouldn't recommend it.

This soup is a winter staple in my house. It's so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I love the creamy texture and the bright flavor of the lemon. I always add a little bit of cayenne pepper to give it a bit of a kick.

I thought this soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably wouldn't make it again.

Not bad, but not great. I think I would have liked it more if I had used fresh herbs instead of dried.

The soup was a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just a matter of personal preference. I added a little bit of honey to balance out the flavors and it was perfect.

This soup was a delightful surprise! I've never cooked with split peas before, but they had a wonderfully creamy texture and mild flavor that paired perfectly with the lemon and herbs.
