Split Pea Soup

The mix of vegetables in this soup (split peas, sweet potatoes, onions, carrots and celery) along with the seasonings (dried marjoram, dried basil, ground cumin, fresh garlic, salt and black pepper) and butter, are the perfect combination, to my taste. This is a sweet soup with a bit of spiciness to it. I find that the white wine is an optional ingredient. It tastes great with it, and great without it.

Lately, I have been trying other split pea soup recipes, some with ham in them, others vegetarian, and this remains my favorite.
