OMG, it was wonderful. Better than the lima bean soup last week. I can't believe I thought I'd be able to eat an entire ham, but I don't have much left.
I did something I've never done with split pea soup before. My ham is called a HoneyBaked ham and the honey flavor is good with it. At the end of cooking I stirred a tablespoon of honey into the pot. I hope I don't forget that trick when I make split pea in the future.
I like split pea soup too.....my Grandmother's both took a potato masher and pumped the soup a couple times to squash up some peas...same with navy bean soup.... really pops the flavor out...and makes both soups thicker too....MMMMmmmmm
I love pea soup, I make it often in winter. I add the peas, carrots, onion, celery, parsley, seasonings, country ham pieces, and let it cook for 2-3 hrs. The peas just dissolve. Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Good bread is all that is needed.
