ingredients
directions
- Place peas in a soup pot, cover with the cold water and soak overnight. Next morning add the chopped vegetables, ham bone and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then lower heat, cover and simmer gently for 3 to 4 hours. Stir mixture occasionally and add a little boiling water to keep soup at the right consistency. Remove the ham bone and add seasonings. Amount of salt will depend on the saltiness of ham bone.
- Note: If soup is served at once, it will need no binding. If to be chilled and set aside for later, add 2 tablespoons each, well creamed butter and flour, smoothed together and stirred into the simmering soup 10 to 15 minutes before removing from heat.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am a Canadian girl living in the US. My family and I moved to a very beautiful but very rural area of Pennsylvania from Ontario Canada. I have two very busy boys, a wonderful hubby, and three curious cats and a new Cairn Terrier named Bailey. We are enjoying living in the country, but I have to say I miss the variety of restaurants and things to do, we had in the city. I love to cook and garden and for the first time since we have been married I now have land for that big country garden (if I can keep the deer and rabbits out!). We bought a big old Greek Revival farmhouse so that there is loads of room for family and friends to visit, I look forward to offering country hospitality to all of them.
