| INGREDIENTS | |
|---|---|
| 1 teaspoon canola oil | |
| 1 cup onion, chopped | |
| 1 stalk celery, chopped | |
| 1 pound dried split peas | |
| 8 cups water | |
| Pinch of salt and pepper | |
| ------ | |
| 1 meaty ham bone | |
| DIRECTIONS |
|
|---|---|
| - In a medium pot, saute onions in oil. Add the split peas, ham bone, and water; season with salt and pepper. | |
| - Cover, and cook until there are no peas left, just a green liquid, 2 hours. While it is cooking, check to see if water has evaporated. You may need to add more water as the soup continues to cook. | |
| - Once the soup is a green liquid remove from heat, and let stand so it will thicken. Remove the ham bone; when cool enough to handle, remove meat from bone, and add to soup. | |
