Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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
