DUTCH SPLIT PEA SOUP
Keep this on hand when you go out jogging or exorcising. Makes a great rib-sticking soup. I sometimes vary the meat ingredients- in the pic posted, I used little smokies and a ham hock, same amounts.

Steps:
- Wash and sort peas.
- Combine peas, water, salt, pepper, bay leaf and thyme in a large pot or Dutch oven.
- Press cloves into onion, and add to pot (if using a ham hock you may wish to add it now so it becomes more tender- but NOT the smoked sausage, as they split if overcooked).
- Bring mixture to a boil, then lower heat, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until peas are tender, about 1 hour.
- Remove the onion and bay leaf.
- Puree soup through a coarse sieve or in batches in the blender (be careful not to burn yourself!); return mixture to the pot.
- (I like to leave a little bit not pureed for texture).
- Add potatoes, ham, sausage.
- leek and celery.
- Simmer uncovered about 25-35 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
- Taste for seasoning and garnish soup with chopped parsley before serving.
