This is for you Diana, I hope you enjoy!
1- 1lb bag of grean split peas
1- med. onion diced
4-5 cloves of garlic minced
about 1 cup of shredded carrots
2-3 ribs of celery (leaves and all)-diced
1 bay leaf
Fresh parsley chopped
Salt and peepr
1.5 quarts of water
1/2 lb of diced ham
Rinse the peas, then toss all the ingredients into a pot and bring it to a boil. Simmer until the peas are soft and it's soup. Season with salt and pepper to taste. You can eat it either thick and chunky or you can puree it using a hand blender.
Enjoy!
For a first-time-split-pea-soup-eater, which do you think I would prefer... chunky or pureed? Also, if I do puree it, do I puree the entire soup (ham and all) or just the peas?? I'm looking forward to making this this week! Jess
