SPLIT PEA SOUP
This is my version of an old classic. You can use either yellow or green split peas for this. I treat all dried beans the same, and many of you don't soak the split peas, but I always do and it softens them. My BF just loves this and I didn't make this for the longest time thinking he wouldn't like it.

Steps:
- 1. Cover split peas with twice their amount water, cover and let sit over night or several hours. Some folks don't soak them, and just start to cook them, I am just a creature of habit and have always done my dried beans this way. if you like you certainly can just start to cook them without soaking them.
- 2. To 4 cups softened beans, add 8 cups of water
- 3. Add your ham juice. Whenever I cook a ham without a glaze I save the juice, and freeze it for just t his purpose. i put it in a zip lock bag and lay it flat. When it freezes, it sit it upright like a book so it doesn't take up any room in my freezer.
- 4. Dice your onions, and carrots and add to pot.
- 5. Add your ham bone or ham hocks and seasonings to the pot and bring to a simmer.
- 6. Let soup simmer for 3 hours, and if needed for texture, use an immersian blender.

[email protected]This soup was disappointing. The split peas never fully softened, even after cooking for over an hour. The flavor was also very bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

[email protected]The soup was a bit bland for my taste. I had to add some extra salt and pepper to make it more flavorful. I also think it would have been better with some chopped vegetables added in.

[email protected]This soup was easy to make and very tasty. I used a slow cooker and it was perfect for a cold winter day. I served it with some crusty bread and it was a hit with my family.

[email protected]This soup was delicious! The split peas cooked perfectly and the flavor was amazing. I used vegetable broth instead of ham bone and it was still very flavorful. I also added some chopped carrots and celery for extra vegetables.

[email protected]This split pea soup was incredible! It was so flavorful and comforting. I loved the addition of the ham bone, it really gave the soup a rich, smoky flavor. I also really liked the texture of the soup, it was nice and thick without being too heavy. Ov
