Boy, that soup sounds goood!!
Thanks so much for sharing it with me..it beats the heck out of the one I usually make!

I have everything here but the ham bone, and I just got back from doing groceries...darn..Think I will make your soup on Saturday.

Gonna do up a batch of Potato-Leek soup for meself tonight, Mr.B is at a Pubbie fundraiser and dinner..
I didn't want to go this time, 'sides, it didn't coordinate with the PT appt...

Got a case of the sniffles, so the soup will be good!!I am glad my Mom wrote down all her recipes, she was really big on pastry and fancy desserts..but she had old recipes handed down from Canada, like Creton, Canadian Meat Pies, and so on..made me miss her all over again..

If you make the split pea soup, you won't need to add any oil to the frying pan to saute' the vegetables, as they will sweat enough to keep them from sticking if you stir them through their cooking time. I tie the hambone in cheesecloth.

The soup smells sooooo good while it's cooking ... I always get comments from my (apartment) neighbors.

Ms.Behavin, you can sit while you chop the vegetables, to save your knee. And the pot doesn't need much attention the first two hours while the peas and hambone cook.

For my taste, I use 9 C water; I don't like this too runny or too thick.
