Split Pea And Ham Soup Recipe

by Global Cookbook

Ingredients

2 c. split peas uncooked 6 c. water heated 1 1/2 c. cooked ham cut in 1/2" cubes 1 stalk celery diced 1 x onion diced

4 med potatoes cut in 1/2" cubes 1 tsp salt if you like 1 x carrots shredded (1 to 2)     (use large holes on steel hand grater)

Directions

1. Put water and split peas into crock pot. Set to high. Add in ham, celery and onion. Add in salt if ham had been reduced sodium. Cook for 2 hrs on high.
2. Add in potatoes and carrots. Cook for another 2 hrs. Serve.
3. Boil ham on bone for 45 min. Use water for soup water. Remove ham from bone and cut into cubes and add in to soup. Toss bone. Finish according to above directions.
4. Alternative: Just put ham on bone into crockpot. Meat can be cut up and bone removed either before adding potatoes or possibly afterwards.
5. NOTES : Start this at 1:30, be finished before 6 p.m.
6. This soup is a little too soupy. Add in only 4 c. of water and hold backon the other two c. unless needed.
7. This recipe was from my Aunt who has used it many times. My family prefers it thick, almost like a stew, but the original recipe is a soup. As the recipe mentions, use only 4 c. of water and add in more if you want it thinner. Freezes very well. I honestly never liked split pea soup (loved the smell) till I added potatoes
