Split Pea and Ham Bone Soup

Split Pea and Ham Bone Soup

Ingredients

Instructions

Place bacon drippings in a large soup kettle and allow to get hot. Add onions, sauté until soft.

Add ham bone, water, peas, barley, celery, carrots, thyme and soy sauce. Bring to a boil, reduce to simmer and cook for 2 hours, stirring occasionally. If soup should be too watery at this point, peel and shred 1 or 2 potatoes and add to pot.

Add tomatoes, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 1 hour or more.

Remove ham bone and meat. Cut up meat left on bone and add to soup with extra scraps you may have. Adjust seasonings to taste and serve.

Serves 6.
