    Treehouse,
    Here is the one I have used for years :[p] Split Pea Soup [p]2 1/2 cups dry Split Peas
    8 cups cold Water
    3-4 Ham Hocks or 1 meaty Ham Bone
    2-3 sprigs fresh Parsley
    1 cup Celery (diced)
    1 cup Carrot (diced)
    1 1/2 cups Onion (diced)
    1 T. freeze-dried Chives
    2-3 cloves Garlic (crushed)
    1/4 tsp. Marjoram
    1/4 tsp. Thyme
    1/2 tsp. fresh ground Pepper
    1 Bay Leaf
    Dash Cayenne Pepper[p]Wash peas and place in a dutch oven with the water.
    Place on high heat and bring to a boil.
    Remove from heat, cover and let sit for 1 hour.
    Add remaining ingredients, bring to a boil, cover, and let simmer for 2-3 hours or until peas are tender.
    Remove ham hocks or ham bone, shred with two forks and return to dutch oven.[p][p]

    egret,
    That's close to the way my wife makes her pea soup except she uses 2 smoked hamhocks and a leftover meaty picnic ham bone.

    egret,[p]Looks like a good recipe...[p]I have found that having the hocks knocked adds a lot of flavor to the cook.

    Treehouse,
    Egret's recipe and my hand-me down from my mom are almost identicle, the hocks I use are smoked. Sometimes hard to find. One tasty twist is to dice some red potatoes to 1/4" cubes and add to soup for the last hour. Makes the soup
    "stick to your ribs" as mom would say.
