Split Pea Soup
Ingredients
- 1 pound dried split peas
- 1 ham bone, or 2 cups cubed ham
- 3 quarts chicken broth
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 1 cup chopped onions
- One-half cup grated carrots
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 2 teaspoons salt (more or less to taste)
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Pinch or two of cayenne
- 2 bay leaves
- One-half cup dry sherry
Directions
- Combine all of the ingredients, except the sherry, in a large Dutch oven. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about two hours, stirring occasionally.
