I'm not a soup lover by any means, but I like bean soup and I've never
had an objection to split pea. I don't know how people can say they
hate a general category when they're actually talking about a premade
product in a can. I will say I hate chickpeas/garbanzos/cici beans
unconditionally when they are whole and I can say that because I've
eaten them both canned and reconstituted dry.
