9. Meanwhile, dice the vegetables.

I feel this is the part of the thread I could start putting random instructions like "go sacrifice a chicken" or something and no one would raise an eyebrow.

10. At the two hour mark the whole peas should be very soft and the split peas should be falling apart. You’ll want to be stirring this a bit more frequently at this point so that the broken down peas don’t form a crust at the bottom of the pot (they can scorch). Skim any film like scum from the top of the liquid.

I'd probably blend a bit of it, but that looks really tasty.

You want to be careful if blending peas... They can turn into a block of starch. This version wants the added texture from the vegetables. For something smoother you might like the split pea version (pic related)

What's a soup bone?

>>7295149
Ham hock or ham bone, usually. Can be any other animal if you have issues with pork. It gives a nice meaty taste to the soup.

Leave it out for a vegetarian version.

Bump for OC.

bump while I'm working on the vertical. Little love for soup this week it seems.

You're lovely. Thanks for reading that joke! :-) I was feeling the thread was unloved.

>>7299730
that didn't answer the question :-(

>>7294905
>go sacrifice a chicken
For what purpose?

>>7300409
To appease the great old one Chtulu of course.

>>7299730
I always enjoy your threads when I can catch them! Where'd you get the ham bone from? I've never seen those around.

>>7301351
I asked the butcher ar my farmer's market. Butchers should be able to hook you up.

Always a comfy thread, OP. Feels good
