The Tekoa Split Pea has been in our top 5 best sellers since 1995. It has less than 10 simple ingredients but is still delicious. The wholesome Washington peas and celery are what make the split pea so tasty. There is nothing more classic than adding Ham to Split pea, but if you are really looking to shake things up, give the recipes below a shot! We added one can of evaporated milk to our split pea soup mix and it gave it a creamy texture.
