Not a winter goes by that I don't fix at least one batch of this traditional pea soup. It's a hot and hearty meal that really warms up my family. Ingredients:
1 pound dried green split peas (2 cups) |
7 cups water |
1 teaspoon canola oil |
2 cups cubed fully cooked ham |
2 cups chopped carrots |
1 cup chopped celery |
1 cup chopped onion |
1 cup diced peeled potato |
1 teaspoon salt, optional |
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley |
Directions:
1. In a Dutch oven or soup kettle, bring the peas, water and oil to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Add the next eight ingredients; cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Stir in parsley. Yield: 10 servings (2-3/4 quarts).
