off-topic..thank you hog farmers! split peas soup..

[DENNIS MIN]

All,

Just pulled the rest of the ham off the bone for a good pot of split pea soup, with carrot, onion, and celery(celery was about to get tossed).

By the way, there's lots of other farmners that I need to thank every day, but today the ham bone, peas, onions, and carrots get the nod.

House smells good, too!

I grew up on split pea and SPAM. It really is delicious. A little home made corn bread,, yummy.

When I get close to the end of a ham I cut it in small pieces,( half inch or so) and freeze it. I use it to season pinto beans. I like split pea soup,but it takes so long to split all those little peas! LOL

My wife always puts a can of cream style corn in her cornbread to keep it moist and tastes real good.

Thanks Jim,
I had thought about making some Army bean soup but couldn't find a recipe.

We had ham, sweet potatoes and green bean casserole for Christmas dinner. Over the next 10 days, we ate the remaining ham, but I saved the bone with lots of meat on it.

I'll take the bone and make homemade soup, but not split pea. Served over or with cornbread - YUM!

Well,

The last ham bone we had went to navy bean soup... one of my fvorites, but we made do with what was in the fridge/cupboard that was to be had.
