I Have a Ham Bone

[Gaffer]

So post a recipe.

[Nienna]

I use neck bones, which I think are gross, but I'll give you my recipe if you want it later tonight. It should work with that bone and it's very simple, pretty much off the bean package.

Sounds good.

Sorry Nienna,I did ask for her recipe.

SHe said they just throw it in with the beans in a crockpot and season to taste with garlic and several other spices. Not to much of a recipe,I know.

Pretty much what I do.

Is there any reason you're puking all over a perfectly good ham bone?

Sorry after re-reading the post I realize that you are talking about beans and ham. I HATE pea soup!

Pretty much what I do.

Well I'll say, my pea soup recipe is sorta similar:

Ham bone or some cubed ham
Package of split peas
carrots
onlons
celery
potatoes

Soak beans for many hours or overnight. Get rid of those that look cruddy. Rinse.

Put 6 C. water to boil, add beans, some onions-quarters, carrots, celery stalks. Return to boil, then simmer for a long time (maybe 3-5 hours). Get rid of veggies other than peas and water. Throw in food processor. Whirl away. Put back in stock pot. Add diced onions, celery, carrots. Bring back to boil and simmer for another couple hours-add ham bone at this point if using. Then pick of ham, if using ham bone.

Add chopped carrots, onions, celery, chopped potatoes, chopped ham if not using ham bone and meat. Simmer for another hour or so. Adjust salt, pepper.

Serve with plenty of oyster crackers, garlic croutons or garlic bread.

That does sound good. Is it possible to make a good pea soup with a hand mixer and no ham bone? We do not own a food preocessor, and we don't eat ham.
