Any Pea and ham soup recipe Please?!
Answers:
start with small amounts and see how you like what you make!. the really great thing about cooking is you can make anything with the foods and spices and seasonings you like!.
i own several cook books that i only use as references and guides to what i want to cook!.
for split pea soup i would chop anything i put in there pretty small because the peas will turn to mush as they cook!. the thing about soup!? anything you put in it should fit nicely on a spoon!. no huge chunks!.
one small onion
1 or 2 carrots
celery
saute them in some oil until the onion is tender but no color!. add diced smoked ham and saute a few more minutes!. sauteing brings out the flavors of the ingredients!.
add about 4 cups of water and 12 ounces of split peas!. experiment! add some garlic cloves to the saute either minced or whole and discard it later!.
simmer for a couple of hours stirring every 15 minutes or so and add more water when needed!. it will get thick and by adding more water you can make it the consistancy you like!.
i would use salt sparingly because there is salt in the ham!. i would add a laurel leaf (bay leaf) because i love the flavor it adds to soups!. a little black pepper too!. i promise it will taste good!.
i would also make croutons and top my soup with them!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

If the ham is on a bone put it in water and simmer it an hour at least to make broth!. Then add dried peas, some chopped onion and simmer till the peas are cooked and it gets thick!. I usually don't add much water at the start and thin it down to the consistency I like, which is pretty thick!. If your ham isn't on a bone just cook the peas in water and dice up the ham and throw it in!. One of my favorite soups, by the way!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
you have to have a ham bone, or ham hock if you can't find the bone!. Just cook dried split peas , and one chopped onion with the bone (careful not to over cook peas) when peas are almost done remove about 1 to 1 and 1/2 cups of the peas!. Continue cooking the rest of the peas for about another hour!. Return the peas and one chopped carrot, cook for 30 minutes more!. remove the meat from the bone, season with salt and pepperWww@FoodAQ@Com
