Surprise! Slow Cooker split pea soup was a hit
Comments (15)Ahhhh, yes! Good ol' home made split pea soup, One of my all-time favorite 'comfort foods'. I've tried it in restaurants, soup & salad places, etc, But for some reason, It is just never very good. But I do love the home made! My 'recipe' is very simple, kind of like my mother made it. Just the split peas, the ham bone, some onion, a bit of white pepper, (I don't like 'fly-specks' in light colored foods) And a little carrot, grated on the largest grate of my grater, for some color. Oh, and water or chicken broth, of course. We do like it to be sort of thick. So glad you & your family tried it and liked it, Isn't it fun to try new things? And get a positive reaction from the family? Rusty...See MoreAny One Have A Recipe For Split Pea Soup?

Comments (8)Pea soup is one of my favourite soups! It's a common soup to make in Newfoundloand and we probably make ours a bit different than everyone else. For one, we use salt beef which I don't even think is available anywhere else, or if it is you call it something different. You can also use a ham bone and leftover ham but I prefer mine with salt beef. Here's my tried and true recipe: Pea Soup & Doughboys 2 cups salt beef, diced 2 cups yellow split peas 1 cup chopped onion 1 cup diced turnip 1 cup diced carrot ½ cup chopped celery 2 - 3 potatoes, cut in large chunks salt & pepper to taste Doughboys: 1 ½ cups flour 1 tbsp baking powder ½ tsp salt 3/4 cup water or milk (approx) -Soak peas overnight in cold water. -Place meat in large saucepan. Add 8 cups cold water; bring to a boil. Simmer 30 minutes. -Add drained split peas and chopped onion. Simmer gently for about 1 ½ - 2 hours. Add more water if desired. -Add other vegetables and cook until tender (remember to stir often). Doughboys: -Combine flour, baking powder and salt. Gradually stir in enough water or milk to form a soft dough (it will be sticky). -Drop mixture by tablespoons into hot soup; cover tightly and simmer, without removing the cover, for 15 minutes....See More
