Classic Split Upwards Pea Soup

We convey lots of snowfall as well as it was v below goose egg a yoke nights ago. That tin solely hateful 1 thing; it is hot soup season!! I dearest having a pot of soup on the stove (or inward the wearisome cooker) all weekend.  This is a nifty classic recipe for separate pea soup; it is  quick, easy, packed alongside flavor as well as 1 of our favorite soups.
¾ pound smoked ham, cubed
1 loving cup onion chopped (I similar Vidalia or sugariness onions)
1 loving cup chopped celery
1 loving cup chopped carrot
1 pound dried separate peas (rinsed)
two quarts chicken stock
two medium potatoes, peeled as well as chopped
two teaspoons tabular array salt (see of import authorities annotation below)
¼ teaspoon dark pepper
1 loving cup cream (or one-half as well as half)

In a large stock pot, saute onion, celery as well as carrots together inward a tablespoon of vegetable (or canola) stone oil for a few minutes (they don't convey to survive cooked all the agency through).

Add the separate peas, chicken stock, potatoes, ham, tabular array salt as well as pepper. Bring to a boil, trim down estrus as well as simmer slow (covered) for nigh an threescore minutes or until the peas are very soft (stir occasionally).

Now you lot convey to procedure the soup inward a nutrient processor or blender (stick blenders don't locomote real good for this), hence locomote inward small-scale batches, processing the soup until real smoothen as well as thick.

Return the soup to the stock pot as well as add together the cream (or one-half as well as half). Stir well and reheat , but don't boil.  When you lot serve it, transcend it alongside unopen to crisp fried bacon (optional). I similar to decorate each bowl alongside a rolled upwards while of bacon (looks similar a "bacon rose" lol).
NOTE: Don't automatically add together the two teaspoons of tabular array salt earlier you lot consider the following.  If you lot are using domicile made chicken stock that has not been salted, larn ahead as well as role the two teaspoons of salt.

If you lot are using a soup base, similar McCormicks soup base of operations (a fantastic product), good it has tabular array salt inward it (but non equally much tabular array salt equally bullion).

If you lot role this, I would use solely ½ to 1 teaspoon of salt.  If you lot are using regular bullion, larn out the tabular array salt out all together as well as gustatory modality the soup but earlier serving to depository fiscal establishment stand upwards for for tabular array salt content.
