Split Pea and Ham Soup I Recipe

Ingredients:

1 cup chopped onion

1 teaspoon vegetable oil

1 pound dried split peas

1 pound ham bone

1 pinch salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

In a medium pot, saute onions in oil. Add the split peas, ham bone, and enough water to cover ingredients; season with salt and pepper.

Cover, and cook until there are no peas left, just a green liquid, 2 hours. While it is cooking, check to see if water has evaporated. You may need to add more water as the soup continues to cook.

Once the soup is a green liquid remove from heat, and let stand so it will thicken. Once thickened you may need to heat through to serve.
