My usual version on the soup :) Ingredients:
1 lb dried split peas |
2 quarts water |
1 meaty ham bone |
1 cup chopped onion |
2 -3 garlic cloves |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
1 cup chopped celery |
1 cup chopped carrot |
1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste) |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, cover dried peas with 2 quarts of water. Bring split peas to a boil; boil gently for 2 minutes. Set aside to soak for 1 hour.
2. Add ham bone, chopped onion, garlic, and pepper. Bring split pea soup to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
3. Remove meat from bone; dice and return to pea soup with chopped celery and carrot.
4. Simmer split pea soup slowly for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Taste split pea soup and add salt.
