MY SWEDISH PEA SOUP

My Swedish Pea Soup image

This is the Pea soup we serve with Piruka. You can cook this on top of the stove, crockpot, or in a roasting pan in the oven. I prefer to cook it in the oven or a Large cockpot when I am not going to be home. But if I do it in a cockpot I have to cut the recipe in half.

Ingredients

2 smoked ham hocks
1 left over ham bone with plenty of meat left on
1 organic celery stock, chopped fine..save the leaves for chicken soup or make a celery stock
2 organic carrots, chopped fine
1 medium organic brown onion, i prefer the texas onion. save the brown skin for coloring easter eggs
3 c of rich homemade plain beef stock..or if you must 3 bouillon cubes
1 oregon myrtle leaf..or bay leaf
9 c water, plus 3 cups if you are using bouillon cubes
3 lb dried whole green peas, yellow peas, split green peas and split yellow peas. (organic)
salt to taste
white pepper to taste

Steps:

1. Yes, you are going to use all four different kinds of peas. Please not we are talking about Ham as American's make which is sweet. Ours is roasting only in a little water.
2. Put it all the ingredience in a roasting pan with a open vent and cover. Set in oven at 350*. It will need to cook all day till it is reduced to the consistence you like. You will need to stir it occasionally to lift the peas from the bottom. Add as much salt and pepper as you like. Remove ham bones and hock bones. Cut off the ham and whatever meat you have on the hooks. Return to soup. We do not throw away the ham bone, the hook bones or the fat. It is all return to the soup after we have finished serving. We return it to the leftover soup as it keeps adding flavor to the soup. It freezes beautifully.
3. We serve this with homemade Black Russian Rye bread/with lots of sweet butter or Piruka. When I cook this, I start it cooking before I go to bed. I don't sleep well, for me it's not an inconvenience.

This soup is a bit too thick for my taste. I would add more broth next time.

I'm not a big fan of split peas, but this soup was actually really good. The dill really made it.

This soup was a bit bland. I think it could have used more seasoning.

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup turned out great. It was a little too salty for my taste, but that's easily fixed. Overall, I'm very happy with this recipe.
