YELLOW SPLIT PEA SOUP a Swedish delight ! image

Went I went to buy yellow split peas,for my soup recipe was I surprised to find the stores (4) in Spokane do not carry them! You can find the green ones and plenty of lentils! Probably because there are many lentil farms around here. Finally my friend in Chicago, mailed 3 one pound packages of the yellow ones. Even though there...

Time 3h15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb yellow split peas
1-1/2 c cut & diced .....lean cooked ham thick slice.
1 large onion...diced
2 bay leaves
3 qt water.
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp ground thyme
1 pinch ground allspice....for flavor
1/2 c each...optional....chopped carrot and or celery can be added.

Steps:

  • 1. Rinse and sort thru peas. Add and put into the crockpot with the fresh water.
  • 2. Chop onion. Add to the pot.
  • 3. Dice the ham . Add to the pot, with all the other ingredients. Cover and cook on high about 3 hours. If you need more liquid, add 1 can of chicken broth.
  • 4. Serve with crusty bread, rye bread or crackers, I like Kavli, 5 whole grain, Crispbreasd. It is imported from Norway. See picture.
  • 5. Set the butter out for crackers, etc. sprinkle with a little parsley and serve this wonderful soup. Adding salt depends on how salty your ham is. You can decide, after a taste.
  • 6. Picture of the Kitchen Divas, salt & pepper shakers I won at our Red Hat Luncheon. They are such cute little piggy's, with the red hats on.!
