I'm all ready to cook pee soup tomorrow, got 5 pounds of split pees
and all the ingredients out and ready to go in my 24 quart pot, got a
meaty ham bone too.

So it's ham bone soup to which you add some peas.

You're quite organized...put everything out the night before?
Anyway, 5 pounds of dry peas? Navy cooking again.
I've seen your 2 freezers. Your basement one must be about
empty for you to cook so much at one time.

Try adding just a couple of sweet potatoes to that. Peel and
cut them into cubes about 3/4" bite size. Just 2 is not
enough but will let you see if you like them. They go well
in pea soup. They won't change the taste of your soup unless
you have one on your spoon. If you don't like it, easy to
pick out that tiny amount.

If you do like the addition, next time add 1-2 for every
pound of peas that you cook.

Another thing I discovered... add in a cup of fresh
or frozen peas to each pound of dried right at the beginning.
It works well.

I can't wait for your response to this post. lol

Pea soup always sounds good, but every time I've tried it, YUCK!

Too late for changes as it's almost all ready to eat, plus I don't
like boiled sweet potatoes, I do like them baked in their jackets.
Besides the green splitpees I found a one pound bag of yellow split
pees and added that too.
My soups take little freezer space because I prepare a condensed
version, like Campbells does, when heating I add water to suit. It
already smells good in here, but I need to make a run into town to buy
broccoli crowns to go with tonight's steak, and get a garlic bulb and
a two pound bag of lemons, and whatever else jumps out at me.... also
will check my POB.
I almost always set out everything I need to cook the night before...
so I can get started early so I can use the day for other things.

Obviously you can't cook.

I don't normally like boiled sweet potatoes either, but last year we
were in a restaurant and my wife had their sweet potato soup. I tried
some and it was good enough that I searched out a recipe and made some.
I added some curry to it and it was delicious. It was way better than I
would have expected from sweet potatoes.
