Time 17h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound dried green peas
1 pound pork, cut into 1/2-inch strips
6 cups water
1 cube chicken bouillon
1 large onion, diced
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped carrot
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 teaspoons smoked salt
2 teaspoons dried parsley
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon dried marjoram
1 bay leaf
¼ cup mustard, or to taste

Steps:

  • Place peas in a large pot and cover with water. Let soak, 8 hours to overnight.
  • Place pot with peas and soaking water on high heat and bring to a boil. Cook for about 5 minutes, and remove any foam that forms. Drain and set peas aside.
  • Fry pork in a skillet over medium heat until slightly pink in the center, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine 6 cups water and chicken bouillon cube in a pot. Bring water to a boil to dissolve the bouillon cube.
  • Add peas, cooked pork, onion, celery, carrot, garlic, smoked salt, parsley, thyme, black pepper, marjoram, and bay leaf to a slow cooker. Pour bouillon in last.
  • Cook on Low for 7 hours, then on High for 2 hours more. Serve with mustard alongside.

This soup is a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't have much flavor.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover ham. I always have ham leftover after the holidays and this is a great way to use it up.

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the bacon from the recipe. The soup was still very flavorful.
