- 1 Bone From Ham or use ham hocks, leave some meat on bone
- 1 lb. Split Peas wash
- 1 gal Chicken Stock or water
- 1 cup Celery washed, diced
- 1 cup Carrot peeled, diced
- 1 cup Onion peeled, diced
- 1 cup Potato peeled, diced, cooked seperately in simmering water until tender
Simmer bones in stock with split peas
Pea soup thickens as the stock reduces and the peas break down, the thickness is a preference. I like my pea soup on the thicker side. Cook to your desired thickness
You will want to allow celery carrots and onion 20 - 30 minutes to cook. If they cook the entire time in the soup they will fall apart
Taste and adjust seasonings
