Split Pea Soup!!!

Oh, yeah - you know you want some!!

Link Removed

Been a few years since I tried this. As you can see, the quantity might have snowballed on me. Joy Of Cooking said 2 cups, dried split peas. I don't want to do this every other day, so heck, let's try 5 cups. 3 cups were yellow split peas but it still turned out way green.

I added an onion, couple carrots, celery, some potatoes, bay leaves, thyme, a bit of kosher salt. (Had some broth handy but I "spaced".) That's about it.

Oh, right, of course: HAM.

I'm pretty much set for meals for a week unless I somehow manage to screw this up. (By this stage, I think I'm just about home free.)

Must freeze some for later too.
 
I'm sure yours is good as Split Pea Soup goes, but I can't stand the stuff at all.

In fact, the only enjoyment I ever get out of it is that it reminds me of one of my favorite movies, Strange Brew.

Lawyer: You can't split pleas like that.
Bob: Two bowls of split plea soup to go, eh.
