Subj : Split Pea Soup Week - 3 To : All From : Dave Drum Date : Tue Nov 12 2024 15:47:00 MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Split Pea Soup w/Ham Hocks Categories: Soups, Vegetables, Pork Yield: 7 Servings 1 lb Green split peas 2 Smoked ham hocks 2 Ribs celery; fine chopped 1 md Yellow onion; fine chopped 1 md Carrot; fine chopped 2 tb Minor's or GFS chicken base 1 ts Garlic granules 1 ts Salt 1/2 ts Dried oregano 1/4 ts Ground black pepper 8 c Water; to 10 cups 1 California bay leaf In a large saucepan, combine all of the ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, leaving cover ajar, simmer for 3 hours, stirring occasionally. Remove and discard bay leaf. Remove the ham hocks; when cool enough to handle, cut meat in bite-size pieces. Return meat to the soup and heat through. May also be prepared in a crock-pot. I put the peas, half the water and the chicken base in a sauce pan and boil hard for a couple of minutes, then into the crock pot with all the rest of the ingredients and the rest of the water and set on low to cook whilst I go off to earn my daily bread. Hearty and good. Real "flutter the covers" fare. - UDD Yield: 6 to 8 servings. Adapted from: Taste of Home - Feb/March 1996 Uncle Dirty Dave's Kitchen MMMMM .... "Kindness can become its own motive.
