I love this combo and I sure use more than 1 tbs of sherry !
I first had this dish at a now defunct California Crepe restaurant. They had the most wonderful food. This soup and the cherry crepes were a big hit with me. I loved them so much I started making these treats at home!

Chuck – I love eating split pea soup throughout the week for lunch as leftovers. It certainly does seem to get better with time (and thicken) doesn’t it? I too love Indian-style lentil soups like mulligatawny and hope to feature a favorite recipe on my site soon.

I fixed this today and will serve it tomorrow for lunch. Many soups taste better the next day. This is one of them. I leave out the salt till the next day and add often add a little more seasoning. The croutons are a nice added touch.

Ever since the first time I had split pea as a child I have loved it earthy taste.

I am surfing the net for some lental or split pea curry recipes from India. Now thats great eating!

I agree that making soups is one of the easiest, yet delicious things you can do in a kitchen. I really enjoy making them this time of year because of the added comfort and aroma that a simmering soup brings to a home. Split pea was always one of my favorites growing up. I love the addition of the cream sherry. Lovely.

Split pea soup is one of my favorites, but I always make it pretty simply. Next time I am going to add potato and carrot–brilliant! I am definitely buying split peas today. Nice work!

Phil – Cream sherry is a sweet type of sherry made from the very fragrant Oloroso variety. It’s fairly inexpensive and also makes for a great dessert accompaniment.

Saw this on foodgawker as well. I LOVE split pea–it’s my favorite soup–hearty, smoky, yet slightly sweet. The cream sherry sounds intriguing. What exactly is cream sherry? Is it just Sherry with cream in it?

Time and again, I find myself back on this wonderful site, each time I see your photos on foodgawker or tastespotting I feel inclined to click on them, because the food looks and sounds like something I would love. I also made some split pea soup recently, but I may have to give your recipe a whirl one of these days.
