In my family we always seem to have ham or Christmas and Easter. After that it seems to be the tradition to make pea soup using the ham bone. My brother in Texas makes it when I visit since he and I are the only ones in his familty that like it. It is really simple to make and very filling.
4 cups chicken broth
4 cups of water
1 small package of dried green peas
1 meaty ham bone
1/2 medium yellow onion chopped.
2 cups chopped ham
2 medium carrots cut into bite sized pieces
Add the broth, water, ham bone, onion and peas to a large stock pot. Cook over low heat. The mixture should simmer. Cover as the mixture cooks. Cook until the peas are soft. Check every 30 minutes Mash down the peas with a fork or potato masher. Remove the ham bone. Add the ham and carrots. Cook until the carrots are cooked.
Serves 6
