A medium onion and carrot in a large soup pot with a chop and add them along with the mortgage. 8 cups cold water and a healthy pinch of rosemary, or two, and it all adds up to a slow boil. Reduce heat and simmer for at least one hour, the recommended two. And you let it simmer the more flavor you are forced to pay the mortgage, and will be more tender.
Once you are simmering, remove the hock and let cool. Add two cups of split peas go back to it from the heat. 45 minutes to half an hour to soften it and take it. While they cook, and once the mortgage is below the water, cut off any fat and cut meat from bones. Chop meat and set aside.
When the liquid is not enough, a stick blender (also known as "immersion blender") is used for all mix. (If you do not have a stick blender, stop reading immediately and go and buy one, because they are very useful.) I have some chunks for texture of choice, but it is not that important.
After the soup mixture, shredded or sliced ham, back, and it is to be born again, it's hot. It is now ready for service.
You have the right size that I do a lot of attention in this recipe is not in use. This recipe can be changed in many, but one thing you should keep it separated from the water, four to one ratio. Anything more and it will be too runny, some less, and it will not be all liquids. Another piece of advice that I should do to you if you decide to add other elements, to make sure they are not acidic like tomatoes or vinegar. Acid makes it difficult for the skin, and they will not be a good blend.
I am aware that it must be good in this soup. It is a good thing, as I usually have enough left over for lunches for the next three days.
