Speaking of pea soup!

We loved the pea soup--enjoyed it on the promenade deck while we watched Endicott Arm glide by. Took many pictures of the scenery...including a nice portrait of two mugs of soup!

Sticking my nose in because I love the word recipe.

 

This is adapted from a whole foods recipe.

 

Slow Cooker Pea Soup

1 (16 ounce) package dried green split peas, rinsed

2 smoked ham hocks

1 cup chopped yellow onion

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 bay leaf

Salt and pepper to taste

6 cups chicken broth

 

 

Put everything in your slow cooker in the order on the list. Cook on high 4-5 hours or low 8-10. The pork should fall off the bone. (i don't eat it, DH takes them). I like to twirl my stick blender through it a bit to break down the onions when it's done.

 

It's my favorite thing to come home to after a VERY cold day at work

 

 

(The original recipe calls for a stalk of celery, a cup of carrots and 1/4 cup parsley but I really like the smokey true pea taste of this soup without all that other stuff)

MMMMM Sounds good to me. Going to try your recipe next week.:)

Love HAL's Pea Soup. Just wish it was hotter when they served it.:):D:)

I love HAL's pea soup also. It makes a day in Glacier Bay even more special. Thanks all for the recipes. My DH does not like pea soup but I will make it for myself.

I will also throw in a hambone, so a great soup to make after a holiday dinner when you serve a ham.

 

Use the water you've used to boil the ham for the stock, even tastier.

Hello All,

 

Her the Dutch recipe for the pea soep, the way we Dutch people make most off the time.

 

2 liter water/ 8 1/2 cups water

500 gr.slpiterwten/ 18 oz

Hamschijf met bot/ Ham whit bone

gerookt spek blokjes/ 5 ounces smoked bacon cubes

2 uien/ 2 onios

1 winterwortel Carrot (1 big one, ore 3 small)

2 prei/ 2 Leek

1 klein knolselderij/ 1 small turnip (rooted celery)

2 aardappels / 2 potatos

peper.zout / peper/salt

 

 

Rinse the spitpeas under runnig water.

 

Boil the water put the slitpeas, ham and baconcubes in the water, and start boil the water again (you must skim it at couple tims).

Peel all the vegetables and cut them the turnip and potatos in cubes, put

the vegetables in the pan on a low fire, it will take 2 1/2 till 3 hours till the soup is ready, take out the ham cut the meat from the bone in pieces and put the meat back in the pan.

 

 

In Holland we always put some some smooked sausage in the soup but I think that you can not buy thad in the USA.

 

Eat it whit a nice piece bread, the NEXT DAY, the soup is so mucht better then.

 

Enjoy your meal :)

You do usually get a huge pot of soup. I just bag individual servings in ziplock freezer bags and have soup available any time. I do add a little water when reheating because pea soup gets really thick.
