Old-Fashioned Split Pea Soup
This simple, yet delicious soup was a staple of frontier homes and welcome on a cold, snowy day.
2 c. dried split yellow peas
1 onion, sliced
1 ham bone
12 c. cold water
salt and pepper to taste
Pick over peas discarding bad ones, soak overnight in cold water. Drain, add onion, peas, ham and seasonings to cold water. Simmer 3-4 hours until done. Rub through a sieve or blend in blender, adding boiling water if too thick. Serve with a dab of sour cream or grated cheese and fresh chopped fresh tomato and good homemade bread or corncake. Serves 8
