CANADIAN (HABITANT) YELLOW PEA SOUP

Steps:

• 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.

YELLOW PEA SOUP - STOVE TOP

Steps:

• Soak the peas overnight. Follow the directions on the packet, but if there aren't any I tend to put them in a 2.5 litre bowl filled with water.
• Finely chop the carrots and onion.
• Bring all the ingredients to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about an hour. On the stove top this can be a bit tricky, as you want it hot enough that the peas break down, but you don't want it to go dry and start burning to the bottom.
• If there are some peas that haven't broken down it's not a huge problem, the texture just isn't as nice. You can whisk it to help things along.
• The soup often tastes better if left to cool for an hour, and then re-heated. (But I can never wait and dig right in!).
• After the remaining soup has cooled it can be split into 1 pint portions and frozen in ziplock bags.
