Directions: |
Directions:Drain the soaked peas.
Add the water.
Slow boil until they are "al dente" - about half cooked. Watch out for foaming!!!!
Add the rest of the ingredients.
Simmer a LONG time until the peas are very tender and mushy.
Season with salt and pepper.
Soup should NOT be thin, but rather hearty but not thick! I guess you'd say "just right'.
When done, take the ham hock out and separate the meat and put the meat back in. Toss the bone. |

Notes: Sorry for not a lot of detail here, but I've been making this soup for Soup's On for 2 years, as in "soup for 100" It's been a trial and error affair. It is a very forgiving recipe, so feel free to make any changes you want. The key is to soak the peas and pre-cook them a bit and make sure the vegetables are finely minced.
