Meal Planning Mommies


List of Ingredients




2 cups Green Split Peas
10 cups Water
6 carrots, cut
2 onions, diced
Celery, chopped very fine
1 teaspoon Dried Marjoram
1 teaspoon Dried Basil
1 Tablespoon Fresh Parsley, Chopped
2 teaspoons Salt
¼ teaspoons Ground Black Pepper


Recipe



1. Take you ham bone and plop it into the pot.
2. Wash your split peas and then toss them into the pot.

3. Dice up your carrots, onions, and celery. And, you guessed it...toss them into the pot.


4. Add TEN cups of water into the pot.


5. Add your spices. Really, you do need these. Try not to skimp on them.

Now, if you are cooking this in a pot on the stove let it come to a boil. Once it is boiling you can turn the stove down and simmer it on low heat for at least an hour. If it is too thick just add a bit more water and stir until it reaches the consitency that you like. If you are crock potting this meal, then let it cook on low for most of the day.

Before you serve this meal remove the ham bone and take any leftover ham off of it. It should just melt right off. This can be added back into the soup for an extra kick.
