Pea soup is very popular in Quebec, Canada. It is a staple of our kitchens, actually! Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups dry whole peas |
2 quarts water |
1 cup dry split peas |
2 tablespoons vegetable base |
12 ounces salt pork |
2 onions, minced |
3 small carrots, shredded |
3 small carrots, cut into 1 inch pieces |
1 1/2 tablespoons dried chives |
1 1/2 tablespoons dried savory |
salt and pepper to taste |
Directions:
1. Place the dry whole peas in a pot with enough water to cover, and soak 8 hours or overnight.
2. Drain soaked peas, and return to the pot. Cover with 2 quarts water. Mix in the dry split peas, vegetable base, salt pork, onions, carrots, chives, savory, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer 2 hours, until peas are tender. Remove and discard the salt pork before serving.
