Canadian Pea Soup| Ingredients | | | 1 | pound | peas, dried, yellow | | | 1 | tablespoon | butter | | | 1 | each | onion, large, chopped | | | 1 | tablespoon | salt | | | 1 | pound | salt pork | | | 12 | cup | water | | | 1 | teaspoon | savory, dried | | | 1 | | pepper, to taste | | | | | |
Directions:
| Place peas in a colander; rinse under running water. Put peas in a large stockpot; cover with cold water and allow to soak overnight. (If using split peas, there's no need to presoak.) Drain.
In a large pot, melt the butter and saute onion until softened, about 2 minutes. Add peas, salt, salt pork, water and savory. Bring to boil; cover and simmer for about 1 1/2 hours or until salt pork is tender. Remove pork; chop and return to soup.
Continue simmering soup until peas are tender, about 30 minutes longer. Remove 2 cups peas from soup and process in food processor; stir back into the soup. Adjust seasoning and serve.
Serves 6.
