What’s for Dinner? Split Pea Soup
October 2, 2008 at 1:36 pm | In recipes | Leave a CommentThat’s right homemade Split Pea Soup. Granted I will probably be the only one to eat it, cause I know the kids won’t and my old man only eats half the time. That could be one reason he weighs 40 pounds less than I do. Anyway…..here’s my recipe today. The way I cook is that the recipe will change according to what I have on hand.
Split Pea Soup
1/2 onion, diced
3 ribs celery, diced
1 cup baby carrots, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp dry thyme
salt and pepper
Sweat in large pot. Add…
1 pound package dry split peas
1 quart of Pacific brand french onion soup
1 quart of water
1 large bay leaf
2 cups ham, cubed
Bring to a boil and simmer until peas are tender, about 2 hours.
If it gets too thick, add more water.
This comfort food should go well with the Vice Presidencial debate tonight.
Maybe I’ll put some bread in the bread machine. I think I have just enough time for a speedy loaf.
