SWEDISH YELLOW PEA SOUP (EMERIL LAGASSE)
Sounds good and economical too! Be careful not to salt the soup too soon; because ham hocks are so salty, the soup may not need any added salt. And of course, I would add some minced garlic as well. One reviewer from the other site suggested adding some mustard into the stock. (to taste?) Also, her Swedish grandmother mashed 2/3 of the peas only and a third left alone for some texture.

Steps:
- In a soup pot or large saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium high heat.
- Add the onions, celery, and carrot and saute until tender, about 4 minutes. Add the ginger and cloves and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the ham hocks and water and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until hocks are beginning to get tender.
- Add the peas and black pepper and continue to simmer for 2 hours. Remove the ham hocks and set aside to cool slightly.
- Puree the soup in a blender, or use an immersion blender, working in batches if necessary.
- Return the soup to the pot and keep warm until ready to serve.
- If the soup seems too thick, thin with a bit of water.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- When the salt pork is cool enough to handle, remove any visible fat or gristle and discard. Shred the meat and garnish each serving with some of the meat.

[email protected]This soup is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not great either. I think it needs more seasoning. I'll probably try it again with some different spices.

[email protected]I made this soup for a potluck and it was a huge success. Everyone loved it! I think the key is to use good quality ingredients. I used homemade chicken broth and smoked bacon, and I think that really made a difference.

[email protected]This soup is a fantastic way to warm up on a cold day. The yellow peas give it a hearty and slightly sweet flavor, and the bacon and onion add a savory depth of flavor. I also added a few carrots and celery for extra vegetables. My family loved it!
