Okay so we had a turkey and a ham for Thanksgiving. Maybe we are weird like that but if anyone else has leftover ham here is a recipe you can use, and also don't forget Heather's Ham and Potato Casserole recipe. You can search for it using the search bar at left.
*Have most people had pea soup before? If you have never had it, don't be scared. Neither David nor I like peas but we LOVE this soup!
8 cups water
1 lb. split peas
2 lbs. smoked ham
1 onion, finely diced
½ tsp. garlic
1 tsp. salt
¼ tsp. pepper
2 carrots, finely diced
2 celery stalks, finely diced
Heat water and peas to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes. Add ham pieces and ham bone, onion, garlic, salt and pepper. Turn down to low and simmer about 1 hour. When peas are done, take out ham bone and mash peas. Cut ham into small pieces and return to soup. Also add celery and carrots and cook until veggies are tender. (abt 30-45 minutes). Stir occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.
*We have used not smoked ham before and just added liquid smoke to help give it some more flavor.
*We always serve this with sopapillas. MMMM. Anyone need a recipe for that?

recipe for sopapillas? yes please!
I am pretty sure Spencer wouldn't be able to eat them, Maybe you can come up with a better way of cooking them (they are fried). I have never even thought about trying to bake them or something. I should try it out. I will try posting the recipe later today.
