Split Pea Soup

Oooh…this is one of my all time favorite soups!

The delicious aroma floats on waves through the house all day making my mouth water. It is a super simple soup to make and so deliciously healthy and filling.

Here is the recipe: 

You can choose from the following for the ham:
1 ham bone or
 2 lbs. ham shanks or
  2 lbs. hocks or
2 lbs. pressed ham
***
2 1/4 c. split peas {1 lb.}
8 c. water
1 large onion, chopped
1 c. chopped celery
1 c. chopped carrots
1 tsp. pepper
2 tsp. salt

Put everything into soup pot or crock pot. For stove top version….boil for 15 minutes, then simmer for at least 3 hours. You want the soup to thicken. 

In the crock pot, just cook on high for at least 6 hours.
Shred or chop ham before serving in the soup. Mine is usually falling apart and I just use a fork to shred.

Serve with grilled cheese sandwiches or crusty rolls and a garden salad. 

Enjoy!
