Does anyone have a recipe for pea soup??

A delicious split pea soup recipe, with ham.


INGREDIENTS:


2 cups dried split peas


6 cups cold water


1 meaty ham bone


1/4 pound Salt pork, cut in 1/2-inch pieces


10 cups water


1 cup diced onions


1 cup celery leaves and stalks, chopped


PREPARATION:


Soak the peas overnight in the 6 cups of cold water. Drain and put in a heavy soup kettle with the ham bone, salt pork and 10 cups of water. Cover and simmer 2 hours, then add the onions and celery.


Simmer about 1 hour longer, adding another cup of water if soup dries out too much. Remove ham from bone and dice. If desired, remove the salt pork. Put the soup through a strainer, blender or food processor. Blend with ham or add ham back into soup after blending. I like to blend or mash part of my pea soup and leave some texture. If the soup not thick enough, add 1/2 cup of light cream.

I just made this recipe for my family this week - it was delicious and was much easier to make than the stove top method. If you don't want to use a slow cooker, you can prepare the soup on the stove top by adding all the ingredients to a stockpot. Then bring the soup to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer for at least 2 hours. Keep the lid partially on the stockpot, sitrring occassionally.

1 large onion, diced


3 stalks of celery, diced


2 cloves garlic, minced


1 teaspoon salt (or less if desired)


1/4 teaspoon, freshly ground black pepper


6 cups chicken broth





Rinse the split peas, drain well and place in a slow cooker. Add remaining ingredients. Cover and cook on high for 4-6 hours or on low for 9-10 hours. The soup is done when the individual peas can no longer be identified and the soup is a smooth consistency
