LOVED IT! Really hard to resist stirring. We added some leftover bacon. Used both the ham bone and leftover ham. Amazingly easy. Highly recommend!!

Very easy, though it is hard to resist stirring. I changed the season salt to cajun seasoning to add a bit of a zing. My only complaint was that it was not as thick as I am use to from making it on the stove. However, the leftovers the next day was. Next time I may leave the lid off for teh last hour to allow the water to evaporate and soup to condense.

Incredible. Prep time took me about 20 minutes (but I'm slow with a knife!) and the results were AWESOME! Hubby gave it a 5 and he doesn't even like peas! I used leftover shredded pork that I had frozen from another meal (no ham bone). Served with crusty bread.

Wow - I didn't expect it to be so tasty. I did revise the recipe a bit - I used both yellow and green peas. I used both a ham hock & cubed ham (no salt needed when using the ham hock). I used 2 carrots and one parnip and one celery stalk for one leek. It really is a great recipe! I would recommend it to anyone

Very good. Very simple. Excellent results. We used the slow-cooking (low) method. Prepped it in the morning and enjoyed it with some french bread that evening. Deeeee-lish!

OMG....this was so easy and so delicious! I omitted the salt and used cajun seasoning as another reviewer suggested. This is a keeper! 5 stars!
