Green Split Pea Soup

This Green Split Pea Soup brings warmth and comfort to your plate. During my childhood, yellow split peas were mostly used, but the result is fabulous with green peas. The smoked paprika and liquid smoke are exquisite and bring on the smokiness. Don’t be shy, get some liquid smoke from the grocery store or from here. It is becoming easier and easier to find.
