Categories     Soups and Stews

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb. dried yellow split peas
8 cups chicken stock, fresh if possible
2 yellow onions, chopped coarsely
1 whole onion studded with 10 whole cloves
1 meaty smoked ham hock, about 2 to 2 1/2 pounds
1 teaspoon dried thyme or 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Rinse and pick through the peas. Watch for any small pea-sized rocks that might be there. I know you don't want to visit the dentist for a chipped tooth.
  • Fill a large pot with the chicken stock, add the peas, the chopped onion, the ham hock, and the onion studded with cloves, thyme, and grated ginger.
  • Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 90 minutes (uncovered).
  • Remove the studded onion and discard it. Remove the ham hock and transfer it on a cutting board. When the ham hock gets cool enough to handle, remove and discard the fat, bone, and tough gristle. Chop the lean ham and return it to the soup pot. You will probably have about one cup of ham.
  • Continue to simmer the soup for an additional 30 minutes stirring it often. It will thicken up and if you prefer a thinner soup you can add additional chicken stock.
  • Taste the soup and season with salt and pepper if needed. Serve with a nice crusty whole-grain bread and a dollop of brown mustard. Enjoy!

SWEDISH YELLOW PEA SOUP (EMERIL LAGASSE)

Sounds good and economical too! Be careful not to salt the soup too soon; because ham hocks are so salty, the soup may not need any added salt. And of course, I would add some minced garlic as well. One reviewer from the other site suggested adding some mustard into the stock. (to taste?) Also, her Swedish grandmother mashed 2/3 of the peas only and a third left alone for some texture.

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...
