dutch split pea soup- aruban style
(2 ratings)
This is an all day labor of love. I once lived in Aruba which prides itself on having the best pea soup in the world. This is as close as I can come to my favorite pea soup. It takes a long time to cook, but it is so worth it. My husband, who is not a fan of your usual garden variety pea soups, just loves this!
