Yield Makes about 12 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups dried whole yellow peas or yellow split peas, picked over
8 leeks (white parts only), chopped coarse, washed well, and drained
12 cups water
1 smoked ham hock
2 thyme sprigs or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 pound celery root
4 carrots, quartered lengthwise and sliced thin

Steps:

  • In a large bowl soak peas overnight in enough cold water to cover by 2 inches and drain.
  • In a 7 1/2-quart heavy kettle combine leeks, water, peas, ham hock, and thyme and simmer mixture, uncovered, until peas are very tender, about 30 minutes.
  • In a blender puree 4 cups soup in batches and return to kettle.
  • Peel celery root and cut into 1/4-inch dice. Add celery root to soup and simmer, stirring occasionally, 20 minutes. Add carrots and simmer, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Remove meat from ham hock and discard skin and bones. Chop meat coarse and stir into soup with salt and pepper to taste. Soup may be made 3 days in advance. Cool soup uncovered and keep covered and chilled. Thin soup with water if too thick.

This soup was a bit too salty for my taste. Next time, I'll use less salt or omit it altogether.

This soup was bland and flavorless. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't have any taste. I won't be making this again.

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup turned out great! It was thick and creamy, with a delicious flavor. I served it with some crusty bread and it was the perfect meal for a cold winter night.

I love this soup! It's so easy to make and it's always a hit with my family. I like to add a little bit of crushed red pepper flakes to give it a little bit of a kick.

This soup was a bit too thick for my taste, but the flavor was great. Next time, I'll add a little more water or broth to thin it out.
