Down-Home Split-Pea Soup

List of Ingredients




1 pound green split peas
1 1/2 quarts chicken stock
2 large smoked ham hocks
2 cups milk
1 large onion, chopped
1 large potato, peeled and diced
2 bay leaves
3 dashes of hot pepper sauce
1 to 2 tablespoons fresh dill
freshly ground pepper to taste




Recipe





Rinse the split peas and combine them with all the other ingredients in a large pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and bring the liquid to a simmer. Cover and cook 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.
Remove the cover and cook and additional hour. Remove the ham hocks and trim the meat by discarding fat and bone. Return the meat to the pot and cook an additional hour.

Makes approximately 2 quarts
