French Canadian Split Pea Soup
French Canadian Split Pea Soup is an moderately easy dinner. Made with 1 lb. bag dry green split peas, 1 ham bone or large slice ham, 1 c. chopped onion, 1 tsp. instant chicken bouillon granules or 2 cubes bouillon and 1 c. sliced or shredded carrots, this recipe delivers authentic, satisfying flavors. Great for entertaining guests or a cozy night in.
Combine peas, ham, onion, bouillon, 8 cups water, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper in kettle.
Bring to a boil.
Cover, reduce heat and simmer 1 1/2 hours, stirring often.
If using ham bone, remove meat, dice and return to kettle along with the carrots and celery.
Simmer 30 minutes.
Cook bacon until crisp, drain and crumble (I use the microwave).
Stir in the bacon, cream and butter to the soup and heat through.
