While this soup was very tasty and filling due to the potatoes, vegetables and beef, the next day after making it, after refrigerating it overnight, I found it turned into a bowl of cement. I didn't even use the 24 oz. of green split peas as I only had a 1 lb. package, so I could imagine how thick it would have been with the full amount of split green peas. When heating a bowl of this soup, I had to dilute it with water to get it like soup should be.
