So, last night we made a delicious pot of split pea. Split pea soup is one of those things that looks and smells quite disgusting... sort like cheese, but eating it is a whole 'nother story. I love making this soup because the peas cook so fast, it tastes good and it's basically baby food ready :)
Split Pea Soup
1 lb. split peas rinsed
2 quarts homemade chicken stock (look back in Nov. for directions)
1 bunch chopped carrots
3 stalks chopped celery
1 small or 1/2 large chopped onion
2 cloves garlic minced
2 cups chopped organic ham
Now put the peas in your stock and cover and simmer. Get them a little soft (45min. to 1 hour) and then I add my veggies and ham. Simmer another 1-2 hours depending on your peas. Add a little sea salt and ground black pepper to taste and you've got it! I like it with a good sourdough bread and some really good pasture butter or homemade butter and a tall glass of raw milk!
