SWEDISH YELLOW SPLIT PEA SOUP

Steps:

• Rinse and pick through the peas. Watch for any small pea-sized rocks that might be there. I know you don't want to visit the dentist for a chipped tooth.
• Fill a large pot with the chicken stock, add the peas, the chopped onion, the ham hock, and the onion studded with cloves, thyme, and grated ginger.
• Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 90 minutes (uncovered).
• Remove the studded onion and discard it. Remove the ham hock and transfer it on a cutting board. When the ham hock gets cool enough to handle, remove and discard the fat, bone, and tough gristle. Chop the lean ham and return it to the soup pot. You will probably have about one cup of ham.
• Continue to simmer the soup for an additional 30 minutes stirring it often. It will thicken up and if you prefer a thinner soup you can add additional chicken stock.
• Taste the soup and season with salt and pepper if needed. Serve with a nice crusty whole-grain bread and a dollop of brown mustard. Enjoy!

• PICK OUT AND DISCARD BAY LEAF and remove the ham hock to a plate. *Note: I prefer a thicker soup, so I blend just a bit of the soup with an immersion blender or blender. Just do a quick blend (or blend just a cup of the soup. You don't want a completely pureed soup. You want it to retain most of it's texture, but the bit of pureed soup will incorporate with the broth for a thicker soup.)
• Let ham hock cool slightly, then remove any meat on the hock and add it back to soup. Discard the fat and bone from the hock.
• Stir to combine meat with soup. Taste and generously season with salt and pepper, to taste.

YELLOW SPLIT PEA SOUP

Steps:

• Begin by gathering and prepping all of your soup ingredients according to the ingredient list above to have ready and organized for use.
• To prepare the soup, place a large, non-stick soup pot over medium-high heat, and add the butter and the olive oil. Once melted together, add in the diced ham, stir, and allow to crisp up a bit for a few minutes.
• Once the ham is browned and crispy, add in the diced onion, carrot, and celery, and allow the mixture to sauté for a few minutes until the vegetables soften a bit. Add in the marjoram, black pepper and a pinch of salt, plus the chopped garlic, and stir until aromatic.
• Next, add in the yellow split peas, and stir to incorporate them into the ham/vegetable mixture. Stir in the chicken stock, and allow it to come to the boil.
• Once things come to the boil, adjust the heat to low/medium-low, cover the pot with a lid slightly askew, and gently simmer the soup for about an hour, until the split peas begin to break down and thicken up the soup.
• While the soup simmers, gather and prep all of your crispy-fried onion ingredients according to the ingredient list above to have ready and organized.
• To prepare the crispy-fried onions, slowly heat the oil to roughly 360° in a medium-sized pot.
• Into a small dish add the flour, black pepper, salt, and paprika, and mix together with a fork. Set aside for a moment.
• In a medium-sized bowl, add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Next, sprinkle the sliced onions with the flour mixture, and toss the slices well to coat.
• Once the oil is hot, add the coated onions (in batches) to the hot oil, and fry them for a few moments until golden-brown and crispy. Remove the crispy onions from the oil and place onto a paper towel to drain, sprinkling them with a pinch of salt to season while still warm. Repeat the process until all onions are fried.
• Once fried, finish them by sprinkling over them the chopped parsley and tossing it with the onions, and set these aside to use as garnish for the soup.
• Once the soup has simmered for about an hour and all peas are pretty well broken down, turn the heat off from under the pot and allow for the soup to sit for about 15-20 minutes. Then, stir in the lemon juice and the fresh parsley, ladle the soup into bowls, and garnish with the crispy-fried onions.
