How To Make split pea soup
-
Step 1Clean and sort dry split peas. Put cleaned split peas in large pot with water. Bring to a boil for 2 minutes. Cover, remove from burner and let set 1 hour.
-
Step 2Add celery, onion, garlic, carrots and hambone to peas and water. Simmer on stovetop for few hours until peas are tender.
-
Step 3Remove hambone and cool. Add basil, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Removed cooled ham from bone and return to pot.
-
Step 4TIP: never add salt to soup until peas are tender. If you add salt at the beginning the peas will never get soft.
