Well, we have our usual dire predictions each year when the first snowfall
is arriving.
Today's the day (but sometimes it doesn't happen).
Anyway, it's cold outside and great weather for a rib-sticking soup, which
is almost ready for lunch.
Green Split Pea Soup
2 cups green split peas
8 cups hot water
Flavoring - ham bone, bacon or ham hocks
1 garlic clove, finely chopped (I used 2)
1 medium onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped (with leaves if possible)
1 carrot, chopped (I added this)
Salt and pepper to taste
1. Sort and wash peas in a colander under cold running water
2. Combine all ingredients, heat to boiling, reduce heat and simmer for 1
hour and 15 minutes, or until peas are very soft.
3. Put through coarse strainer. (I'll use my hand blender.) Reheat and
serve.
8 servings.
I took the recipe from the package and adjusted it to suit.
