Split Pea & Ham soup
with carrots, extra peas, onion, garlic and potatoes
Ingredients:
6 cups water
2 pounds ham
1/2 pound of dried split peas
1 package of frozen peas ( I like Green Giant early peas)-end of the cooking
1 potato, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
3 cloves of minced garlic
1/2 of a sweet onion, sauteed in olive oil with salt and pepper, save until the end of the cooking.
First wash the dried peas in a colander and check for any small stones that perhaps got mixed up in the manufacturing process. I've never found one, but wouldn't want to either.
Use a large stock pot or dutch oven, add the dried peas, ham, and a tiny bit of each of the onion and carrots. Simmer over medium heat for 2-3 hours, then add the rest of the carrots, and the potatoes and simmer an additional 30-40 minutes until vegetables are done.
When almost ready to serve, add the sauteed onions back in and the frozen peas, simmer 5 minutes, and it's done.
Serve with a nice salad and some fresh bread. yummy
