Split pea soup


Split Pea Soup

Ingredients:
3 full big jars of homemade chicken stock
Ham, nitrate free uncured
 3 Carrots
3 stalks of Celery
1/2 large Onion
2lbs of Split Peas
1 Tbsp Salt
1 Tbsp Parsley

ALL PRODUCE IS ALWAYS ORGANIC!


Ok so here it is, cut up all the stuff, the ham into cubes, the carrots, celery, onion.
Pour the Peas into a bowl and make sure they are sorted through throwing away anything questionable.   Take all the ingredients and then add about a good tablespoon of salt into an 8 qt stock pot.  Make sure that you have enough broth to cover all the ingredients but not too much liquid, just covering the veggies and ham.  I added about another jar full of water on top of the 3 jars.  I also added about a good tablespoon of parsley as well.  Now cover it, bring it to a boil and simmer for 45 minutes.  Check to see if the ingredients are cooked, try a pea and see if it's soft.  If not add 10 minutes and check again. 



After it's all cooked up, I put my hand mixer in it and just give it a few pulses maybe 30 seconds worth, just to give it a a blend.  There ya have it!  Easy Easy Split Pea Soup!



ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!
