How To Make french canadian pea soup

Step 1

For Ham Stock, in large pot put olive oil on med head and sauté onions. Add Ham bone and other ingredients and simmer for at least two hours. I put mine in the fridge overnight. When I cook this in winter and the temp outside is 32 or lower I just set it on an outside table. Drain stock and pick of the meat and save to add to the final soup.

Step 2

In the same large pot, sauté the vegetable a bit and add the stock, peas, and seasoning. You won't need salt the ham has plenty. Cook on simmer/med for at least wo hours stirring once in a while. Soup should thicken as the peas cook. If you like it thicker simply add more peas and adjust cook time.
Step 3

you can adjust this recipe easy: if you think its to thick just add more water or chicken stock.
