Pea Soup (Andersen's)

By DWatkins23

This recipe is adapted from Andersen's split pea soup. They don't put the ham in, but I think it improves it.

• 1 stalk celery
• 1 large carrot
• 1 med onion
• 1/4 t ground thyme

Preparation

Step 1

Put peas in water and boil hard for 20 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and reduce heat and cook for a few hours. Monitor liquid to ensure it doesn't get too dry and stir occassionally to prevent burning.

This is really good served with cornbread.
