Good Measure™
Ingredients
1 ham bone, 2 lb ham shanks, or 2 lb smoked pork hocks
1 bag (16 oz) dried split peas (2 cups), sorted, rinsed
1 large onion, chopped (1 cup)
2 medium stalks celery, finely chopped (1 cup)
1/4 teaspoon pepper
7 cups water
3 medium carrots, cut into 1/4-inch slices (1 1/2 cups)
Directions
In 4 to 6-quart slow cooker, gently mix all ingredients except carrots.
Cover; cook on Low heat setting 3 to 4 hours.
Remove ham bone from soup. Let stand about 15 minutes or until cool enough to handle.
Remove ham from bone. Remove excess fat from ham; cut ham into 1/2-inch pieces. Stir ham and carrots into soup. Increase heat setting to High. Cover; cook about 15 minutes longer or until carrots are tender.
Recipe Note
To sort the split peas, remove any grit or discolored peas. Place the split peas in a bowl, and cover them with water. After a minute or two, remove any skins or split peas that float to the top. Finally, rinse the split peas in a colander or strainer.
