Answer 2

I make a really nice and simple Split Pea soup.

1 bag dried green split peas
1/2 medium onion - diced
1 stalk celery - diced
1 carrot - diced
1 bay leaf
black pepper
1 ham bone
1/2 c chopped ham

Saute the onions, celery and carrots in a skillet just until the onions are translucent. Place the split peas in a pot, add the onion mixture, the bay leaf, black pepper and ham bone. Cover with water and add enough water to put it 2 inches above the peas. Bring to a boil, turn down your heat, and simmer for 2 hours, stirring often. If the soup is boiling madly, turn your heat down some more. If the soup starts to get too thick, add more water and stir again. Just 10 minutes before the 2 hours are up, remove the bone, take the meat off the bone, cut it up and put back in the soup. Discard the bone. Take the chopped ham and put it in the soup. Cook until everything is hot. Serve.

Answer 4

Here's a recipe that we've made a lot at home that's easy and good:

FYI, I don't use ham hocks when I make this. I usually substitute a couple of thick slices of lean ham which I cut up into cubes at the end before serving. It's not as fatty but you still get the flavor.

Bon appetit!
