NOTES : Use quick-cooking split peas.
13
I use Loretta brand, that do not requirepre-soaking.
14
I do still find which the peas take much longer than the recipe instructions specified to be softened sufficient to create a suitable mix with the rest of the ingredients.
15
I use dry thyme leaves, since the recipe didn't specify fresh, dry, leaves, or possibly grnd.
16
When it came time to season with salt and pepper, I found the soup not sufficiently seasoned, and ended up mixing in some bouillon cubes.

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.

Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.
