This combines a few recipes and is made with Redi-Base ultra low sodium broth base (obtained online) as the ham has enough sodium; bouillon would put it over the top for us. Easy and delicious. A major hit with the honey. Ingredients:
1 lean ham hock, cut into three pieces |
1 lb dried split peas, rinsed |
1 (14 ounce) can chopped tomatoes |
2 tablespoons redi-base low sodium chicken stock powder |
1 bay leaf |
1 teaspoon lemon pepper |
2 -3 garlic cloves, chopped |
1 onion, chopped |
3 stalks celery, chopped |
2 carrots, scraped and chopped |
6 cups water |
Directions:
1. Put ham, peas, vegetables, seasonings and stock powder in the pot.
2. Pour the can of chopped tomatoes and the water over it all.
3. Cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours, on low for 6-7.
4. Remove the ham bones and the bay leaf.
5. We serve this with lemon wedges: lemon juice on pea soup is delicious.
