It was a school cafeteria staple and, well, if you've eaten in a school cafeteria in the US, you'll know why I didn't like it... Now that I'm grown up, I rediscovered split peas and how delicious they can really be when handled properly and with some culinary "love"! This version looks lovely. I like the idea of using the leek, it has such a smooth flavor, if you catch my drift. And carrot to bring out some sweetness. And although I'm not much of a carnivore, I wouldn't go without some cured pork... I detested split pea soup when I was growing up.
