There is nothing like having a hot, “stick to the bone” soup after shoveling the snow in the freezing cold wind. This Split Pea soup is exactly that. Also you probably have most of the ingredients in your house so you won’t have to run out in the snow to get them.
As you can probably tell, this soup has hotdogs in it. My family just loves having them in the soup. It also makes the soup ever more filling and warming. If you don’t like hotdogs then you can leave it out. But they are super yummy in the soup. 🙂
