Time 8h15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 16oz pkg yellow peas (soaked in water over night)
2 large turnips peeled and diced
2 large red onions peeled and diced
3 large carrots diced
6 medium russet potatoes peeled and diced
1 lb diced ham (any kind will do)
salt to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Drain Peas from water. In a large stock pot add 8 cups water, the Peas, The Ham, all your chopped up veggies, and I used about 3Tbs of Sea Salt, but you use whatever is desired.
  • 2. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer, let simmer 8 hours, stirring about every half hour.(I started ours at 8:00am so we could eat dinner about 4:00pm).
  • 3. Serve with a light salad and some hot bread. Some people like to add some spicy mustard to the soup.
