Split Pea Soup - Jennifer Crites

Recipe

< Picture 1 of 1 >

Ingredients

  • 8 cups water
  • 1 lb dried split peas
  • .5 cup onion, diced
  • 1 ham bone with some meat still on it
  • 1 tsp salt
  • .25 tsp pepper
  • 1 cup carrots, peeled and sliced into nickels
  • 1 cup celery, sliced

Steps

  1. Heat water and peas to boiling. Boil for 2 minutes and remove from heat. Cover and let stand for 1 hour. Stir in onion, ham (I like to use butt portion ham bone left overs that still have meat on it-or 1 lb of crisped crumbled bacon if I have no ham), salt and pepper. Heat to boiling and simmer until peas are done, about 30-40 minutes.
  2. Remove ham bone and trim meat, cutting into bite-sized pieces. Stir meat piece back in to soup and add carrots and celery. Simmer until vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes.
