This is my ALL time favorite Split Pea and Ham soup recipe. I received the Better Homes cookbook as a wedding gift 7 years ago. I found this recipe in there and have stuck to it ever since. It is a perfect Fall/Cold day soup to have with your Saltines. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
14 ounces chicken stock
1 1/2 C. dried Split peas
1 3/4 C. Water
1 Ham Hock
1 bay leaf
2 tsp. pepper
Directions:
Pour in your chicken stock, water, bay leaf, ham hock, split peas and pepper. Bring to a boil then cover and simmer for 1 hour. After an hour, turn the heat back up to med to high heat and remove the ham hock. Cut as much of the meat off of the ham hock as you can and return the meat back to the soup. Let it boil for 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally. Turn back down to simmer and cook covered for about 20-30 more minutes. Serve and Enjoy! That simple, yet SOOOO delicious!
