I am off to clean the kitchen and get a pot of split pea soup going.
Joshua and I finished the laundry room. YEAH!! I can finally stop sneezing until I do the rest of the basement. It is such a mess down there. The kids (mainly Erik) dig out so much stuff.
Dishes and Soup, here I come!SPLIT PEA SOUP WITH HAM
Freezes Well
10 Cups of water
4 cups Split Peas
1 Cup ham, diced (I add a bit more)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon of pepper
1/4 teaspoon marjoram, crushed
1 bay leaf, finely crushed
1 Cup celery, chopped
1 Cup onion, chopped
1 Cup carrots, sliced
Rinse Peas; combine peas, water, ham, salt, pepper, bay leaf and marjoram in large Dutch oven or stock pot. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat, simmer (don't boil) for 1-1/2 hours. Stir occasionally. Add Celery, onion, and carrots. Simmer, uncovered for 30 minutes.

Are split peas something you can buy in a can or do I just get them in the produce section? (I really know NOTHING about cooking/food lol). Also why do you need to use a Dutch oven? (I don't know what a stock pot is...) Can't I just use a regular large pan with a lid? Thanks!
my husband absolutely LOVES pea soup.... one of his alll time favorite fall foods!
Can you believe I've never made or even had split pea soup??? It's always looked, well, less than appealing to me. But after reading your recipe, I think I might try some - some day.
I love soup, but I have never learned to like Split Pea Soup or Navy Bean soup. But I bet yours is good!
