This is a very basic, very simple soup. However, paired with the suggested toppings elevates it substantially. Alone, the soup would be just a "3". We paired it with the pickled onions and the tapenade.
Do beware that the recipe takes at least 2 hrs. If you are like me, and read just the beginning, you might delude yourself into thinking its a simple 1 hour cook. When I realized my miscalculation, I moved it to the pressure cooker, 10 minutes high, fast release, and then carried out the second 45 minutes of reducing the broth. I wish the author had described how thick it should be - it seemed a bit thin to me.
I was happy to eat this and to remember how much I enjoy split peas.
