Country split pea soup with bacon and potatoes from New England Soup Factory Cookbook: More Than 100 Recipes from the Nation's Best Purveyor of Fine Soup by Clara Silverstein and Marjorie Druker

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Super good version of split pea soup. Like another user, I cooked the bacon first and then sauteed the veggies in the fat. I was somehow out of apple cider vinegar (??) so I used sherry vinegar instead, which was fine!

    Very delicious! Instead of cooking the veggies in butter, I cooked the bacon, and used the bacon grease to cook the veg instead. Ate it right away - but looking forward to leftovers tomorrow! Didn't have tabasco, so a few dashes of rice vinegar and some red pepper flakes instead.

    Yummy! Also good with other toppings like fried onions
