FRENCH-CANADIAN PEA SOUP (SOUPE AUX POIS)



French-Canadian Pea Soup (Soupe aux pois) image

A traditional dish for Fridays (a legacy from Quebec's religious past). After cooking, I like to remove about half the peas and puree them in order to thicken the soup. I use a ham bone or pork hocks instead of salt pork. The savoury is essential to get the right flavour. You can also soak the peas overnight instead of using the quick-soak method.

SOUPE AUX POIS (PEA SOUP)

This is from the Canadian Living Slow Cooker Recipe Cookbook. It states that this soup is still the test kitchen's favourite pea soup. This keeps well in the refrigerator, you might have to thin it a bit with water when reheating. If you do not have a ham bone you may use an 8 oz piece of salt pork, chopped into bite sized pieces.
