I always love big chunks of meat and potatoes!
Miss Judy, I must have missed something. I am cooking this right now and the milk has curdled. (I have not added cheese yet). Should I have waited to add the milk, too?
Sandy
Are you making this in the crockpot? I can’t understand why it would curdle???
I promise! I am! I went to the store for fresh ingredients when you posted this recipe just so’s I could make it! Boo,hoo! (I am cooking it on high; I will try it again and use low next time. Maybe my pot is too strong!)
Sandy, I cooked mine on high, too, but did not have any problems. I have never had milk to curdle in a crockpot. You might try whisking it with a whisk to see if you can get it to blend into the soup. I am sorry it happened to you.
Wondering if Ham would be a good replacement for the beef sausage? I would love to make this.
I am sure you could use ham.
This looks delicious and I love split pea soup. Quick question, which type of potato do you think would work better?
I just use whatever I have on hand. They are all good.
i will be making this soon! i have a question about the picture you have that is for the soup and salad on the right side of the page… looks like pinto beans(soup) with either dumpling or potatoes?? can you verify?? my mouth is watering for it! lol! thanks!
It’s the pinto beans with dumplings. Here is the link: http://thesouthernladycooks.com/2011/12/15/pinto-beans-and-dumplings/
I always add the milk a few moments before serving and never have a problem with curdling. Hope this helps.
