Need recipe ideas...migh be a long-shot!

My brother-in-law works for a shipping company for major grocers.  Occasionally they have products that are damaged and cannot be sent to the stores, so if it's something his family won't use, they bring it to us.  Right now, I have about 12 cases of canned split-pea soup that I have NO IDEA what to do with.  I know this might be a long-shot, but does anyone have any recipes using split pea soup as a base for something else??  Or know how I can dress it up/change it at all??  We like the soup, but we don't like it enough to eat it for the next 6 months straight...LOL

Oh, and I have about 15 boxes of Bisquick as well, so could use recipe ideas for that, too!  I have a LARGE family, so casseroles are good! 

TIA! 

I kept meaning to post here for awhile now and I finally made it.

I am the worst at taking things out of my cupboards and making a meal out of them.

Here is something I actually did not too long ago with Campbell's Split Pea Soup. I was making enchiladas and I went to go get my green chile base I use for the sauce and I couldn't find it. All I could find that was green was that soup.

So, I took the soup, added milk to it, added my cheese, heated it up in the microwave, added my canned pepper mix (it's just a mix of homegrown veggies that we can each year - pablo/ancho/bell/jalapeno/onion/garlic). Threw the mix over the enchiladas, added more cheese on top, baked it, and surprisingly it wasn't that bad.

Funny that you have all of that food. My hubby just brought me cases of Refried Beans and Starkist Tuna.

I know that some people add water to their split pea soup, but I always use milk, it tastes so much better. I absolutely LOVE split pea soup. Lol...wish I had cases of that instead.

I wonder how the soup would be with Polish Sausage in it?

I wonder how it would be if you fried crumbled hamburger or crumbled sausage with onion/garlic/salt/pepper, cubed up and partially boiled white or red potatoes, added 2 cans creamed corn, and the split pea soup and milk and velvetta cheese. If you made it so it wasn't too runny from too much milk, then you would have a casserole. I was thinking sausage and creamed corn to try and overcome the flavor of the pea soup. The boiled potatoes in it would be something else to bite into that would be a different flavor.

I just thought of something different for what I said above. Omit the boiled potatoes completely. Do the mix the same way, put it in your 13x9 pan, then put tator tots on top (standing up so there are more tots) and cheese on top of that and bake. I do my tator tot casserole with cream of chicken soup or mushroom, so why not add a split pea soup to it.

If I was standing on a fish, I'd slip and fall......

okay, that's a challenge. it is like trying to find a word that rides with month. so i performed a search: "recipes using split pea soup" and several actual soup recipes came up. what i did see was just the basic soup, but with different items added, such as:

1. split pea w/ham 
2. split pea w/barley
3. split pea w/potatoes
4. split pea w/pork chops casserole
5. split pea w/vegetables
6. split pea w/rosemary

i'm sure you were hoping for something else, but i hope these help.

Tuna ><((((*> the other white meat!
