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.
