I am off to clean the kitchen and get a pot of split pea soup going.

Joshua and I finished the laundry room. YEAH!! I can finally stop sneezing until I do the rest of the basement. It is such a mess down there. The kids (mainly Erik) dig out so much stuff.

Dishes and Soup, here I come!

SPLIT PEA SOUP WITH HAM

Freezes Well

10 Cups of water
4 cups Split Peas
1 Cup ham, diced (I add a bit more)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon of pepper
1/4 teaspoon marjoram, crushed
1 bay leaf, finely crushed
1 Cup celery, chopped
1 Cup onion, chopped
1 Cup carrots, sliced


Rinse Peas; combine peas, water, ham, salt, pepper, bay leaf and marjoram in large Dutch oven or stock pot. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat, simmer (don’t boil) for 1-1/2 hours. Stir occasionally. Add Celery, onion, and carrots. Simmer, uncovered for 30 minutes.

  1. Are split peas something you can buy in a can or do I just get them in the produce section?  (I really know NOTHING about cooking/food lol).  Also why do you need to use a Dutch oven? (I don’t know what a stock pot is…)  Can’t I just use a regular large pan with a lid?  Thanks!
