Split Pea Soup with Ham
From Diana Rattray,
2 cups dried split peas (or two cans of peas- omit soaking if use canned peas)
6 cups cold water
1 meaty ham bone
1/4 pound salt pork, cut in 1/2-inch pieces
10 cups water
1 cup diced onions
1 cup celery leaves and stalks, chopped
Soak dry peas overnight in 6 cups of cold water. Drain. Put in a heavy soup kettle with the ham bone, salt pork and 10 cups of water. Cover, simmer 2 hours, then add the onions and celery.
Simmer about 1 hour longer, adding water if soup dries out too much. Remove ham from bone and dice. If desired, remove the salt pork. Put soup through strainer, blender or food processor. Blend with ham or add ham back into soup after blending. I like to blend or mash part of my pea soup and leave
some texture. If the soup not thick enough, add 1/2 cup of light cream. Serves 6
Eat with buttered bread.
