It has always been one of my favourite soups, but there is a huge range
of the stuff. I was raised with Habitant pea soup, which I think is the
best commercially made split pea soup. Maybe it is because that was what
I was raised on. I make my own these days and it is infinitely better
than store bought. I always make some extra for my brother because he
loves it. His wife hates it with a passion.
