Hearty, Homemade Comfort—Just Like a Midwestern Welcome

Inspired by the spirit of community and the age-old tradition of barn raisings on the Nebraska plains, this rustic split pea soup is the kind of meal that brings folks together. Our Nebraska Barnraising Split Pea Soup starts with premium green split peas, paired with a colorful mix of dried carrots and savory seasonings to create a thick, nourishing bowl of comfort.

It’s a slow-simmering classic with endless possibilities. Stir in diced ham or crispy bacon for added depth, or keep it plant-based with a swirl of sherry for a rich, aromatic finish. Whether you're warming up after chores or settling in for a cozy night, this soup makes the house smell like someone’s cooking with love.

Bring the warmth of a Nebraska kitchen into your home with this hearty, old-fashioned favorite—a true taste of tradition in every spoonful.

Excellent soup!

I popped this in the crockpot this am with a leftover meaty ham bone. 4.5 hours on high and we had a great lunch ready to go. We all work from home and this really hit the spot!

I just wanted to reach out to say thank you for creating the Split Pea Soup starter. It’s absolutely delicious and I can’t wait to buy more from my local store (Kudzu Bakery in Mt. Pleasant, SC). I used Kiolbassa brand bacon from San Antonio in the preparation of the soup as per the instructions, and it was fabulous. I’m glad I found your product and I’m excited to try more of what y’all offer.

Simply excellent split pea soup!

Bought a single package of this at Jungle Jim's International Market in Cincinnati just to see what it was like. Excellent! I used smoked turkey instead of ham or bacon. Came back to the website today and bought a BUNCH of various soups. Keep up the quality, great-tasting products!

It's my son's 10th birthday, and your Split Pea is his favorite flavor! I just put in a huge order for my mother-in-law's birthday (she turned 80), and she was thrilled!

This soup mix came with a Nueske ham I received as a gift. I usually do not care for soup mixes - they taste somehow artificial, salty, etc. - but I just made the soup with the ham bone and it is really, really good. I’ve already had one bowl and it’s not even time for lunch! I will look for more of your products.
