Hammy Yellow Split Pea Soup

[a_boleyn]

A meaty ham bone, flavourful ham stock from boiling a large smoked picnic shoulder ham, a pound of split yellow (or green) split peas, and you've got a delicious and filling soup for not a lot of money.

Nothing better on a cool night than this. We have one store that carries the best smoked ham hocks. I might need to make this next weekend...

Ham hocks are great in this. I like the cannellini (or white or navy) bean version of this soup too.

The carrots make the soup look reddish instead of yellow. :)

I don't know of a pea soup that isn't helped by ham hocks. :D
