Yellow Split Pea Soup with Frankfurters

I used to make a lot of this when I went skiing in Switzerland. If I had cooked a ham for the holiday, I’d have a lot of ham stock which is particularly good in this recipe. You can use chopped ham or indeed any other sausage you like, but frankfurters or the fine worsts of Germany and Austria go best, I find. This is the most comforting of all soups.
