boil a couple chicken parts with an onion, bunch of carrots and celery and a cup of dried split peas, little bit of salt and pepper. Simmer for a few hours till everything is mush, pull out chicken bones and skin, if it is still watery, keep simmering without lid till its reduced till the thickness you want.
I can't eat peas unless in chicken pot pie and not crazy about that but love pea soup. I put in a splash of liquid smoke.
I love Split Pea with Ham Soup. My wife won't touch it. On the other hand I get more of it. She loves it when I make Navy Bean with Ham Hocks soup she loves it though.
Just did a split pea soup in the crockpot yesterday and enjoyed a nice hot bowl by the fire when it was ready around 9pm.
1lb package of split peas
7 cups vegetable broth
~1lb cubed ham (frozen leftovers from the Easter ham)
1 large white onion diced
Diced carrots and celery (not sure exact amount, but basically cut up enough until each pile of onion, carrots, and celery were about the same size--LOL)
1/2tsp ground thyme
1tsp Salt
1tbsp black pepper
1 scotch bonnet pepper (I like some heat)
It was a very welcome meal after a long day of pepper gassing myself while making and canning/jarring hot sauces and pepper jellies.
I like to use smoked Turkey wings rather than ham. My ham doesn't seem to get tender. It getting into soup season.
