For a different spin on traditional split pea soup, try this
recipe. The flavor is peppery rather than smoky, and the
corned beef is an unexpected, tasty change of pace.

• 8 cups water
• 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 2 large onions, chopped
• 2 medium carrots, chopped
• 2 cups cubed cooked corned beef or ham
• 1/2 cup chopped celery
• 5 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
• 1 teaspoon dried marjoram
• 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning

• 1/2 to 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt, optional

Preparation

Step 1

1. In a Dutch oven or soup kettle, combine all ingredients;

1-1/2 hours or until peas and vegetables are tender.
