It's now April. It is still cold in Milwaukee. We had snow almost every day this week. Winter just will not let go of us. So the weather is still great for cooking up a big pot of soup. Peas soup is easy to make. It just takes a bit of time to simmer.
Green Split Pea Soup
2 cups green split peas
5 cups chicken broth
3 cups water
½ medium yellow onion chopped
1 ½ cup diced cooked ham
2 medium carrots sliced
salt and pepper to taste
Sort through the peas
to remove any small stones or other debris.
Put the peas into a stockpot with broth and water. Bring the mixture
to a boil and simmer for two minutes. Turn off the heat and let stand for one hour.
Return the stockpot to
the stove. Turn on medium heat. Add the onions and ham. Cook for 1 ½ hour. The peas should be broken up. If not use a
fork to break up peas as needed. Add the
carrots and cook until tender.
Serves 6
