Recipe Notes

8 cups of water yields a moderately thick soup. Add an extra cup of water for a thinner soup. Keep in mind that the soup will continue to thicken after cooking. If it's too thick, add a little more water or broth.Can substitute 2-3 teaspoons poultry seasoning (thyme, sage, rosemary) for the curry powder. For a vegetarian smoky split pea soup, add 1 teaspoon liquid smoke and omit curry powder.
