Equipment

Ingrediënten

  • 1 cup dried split peas
  • 12 cups water divided
  • 1 ham hock or pieces of cubed ham
  • 1 carrot peeled and finely diced
  • 1 onion peeled and finely diced
  • 1 potato peeled and finely diced
  • ¼ cup celery finely diced
  • ¼ cup green bell pepper finely diced (optional)
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructies

  • In a large pot, add peas and 6 cups boiling water; cover the pot and let soak for 1 hour.
  • Then drain the water and add 6 cups of fresh water and remainder of ingredients.
  • Bring to a boil and then lower the heat and simmer until peas are thoroughly cooked and tender (about 45 minutes, depending on how old the peas are).
  • Add water during cooking time because split peas absorb water while cooking.

Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:

You can make split pea soup (using this recipe) without soaking the peas first, but the soup will take longer to cook until the peas are tender—about 2 hours.
