Some have recommended adding Italian spices to this soup. I like it just the way it is though...

I added some turmeric and paprika, with a few dashes of cayenne, to touch this up. Delicious.

It was good Ryan. Have you tried making it with yellow split peas? I never tried putting Worcestershire in it before good idea. I used to just use hot sauce.
