  3. The Rapid Boiling Method involves picking, washing and draining the legumes; adding water until the level is 2 inches over the top of the legumes; bringing the legumes to a full rolling boil for 2 minutes; removing from the heat, covering and allowing to the legumes to hydrate for 1 hour.
  4. The Overnight Soaking Method involves picking, washing and draining the legumes, adding water until the level is 2 inches over the tops of the legumes; covering the legumes and allowing the legumes to hydrate overnight.
  5. Use the hydrated legumes in the recipe as directed.
  6. Preparation of the soup:
  7. Put drained peas and clean water into soup pot and bring to a boil.
  8. Adjust the cooking liquid as needed to keep the soup thickened.
  9. Reduce heat to a simmer and add the other ingredients. Cook for 1-1/2 hours.
  10. Remove the ham from the soup and chop any meat. Remove the bay leaves.
  11. Puree the soup and add back the chopped ham if any. If a ham rind is used, a small piece of the rind may be pureed with the soup.
