1 cup white or yellow onion minced
Two peeled potatoes, minced
Two carrots, minced
Two celery stalks minced.
Grab a pound of green peas, rinse and put them into a pot with water that covers them-You can soak them for a few hours or overnight-or you can put them on the flame get them to boil and let them cool off for a few hours.
You can make this recipe with salted pork, bacon or ham or ham hocks.
If you go with the ham hocks you just put them in water and start to heat it up.
If you go with bacon, pork or ham, go with one-not all three! Mince them up, put some oil in the bottom of the pan and fry everything until crisp-then add the garlic, veggies and the drained peas.
Add fresh water to about one inch over the ingredients and cook until done. about 1.5 hours at a slow simmer.
Keep your eye on the water level and add as needed.
-----------------------
To make it cook faster I shred the carrots and dice the potatoes and celery into fine cubes.
At the end of cooking the soup you can take half of the pot and put it thru a blender them mix it back in with the unblended half. It makes the soup creamy and you don't have the big chunks of veggies.
If you go with the salt pork wait until the last half hour to season it. Bacon and ham are also kind of salty so adjust the salt as you like it. Ham hocks are usually smoked and add a real nice flavor to the soup.
Grab a nice crusty bread with real butter, a simple salad on the side and you are golden!
-------------
Let me pour drinks and get some food passed out!
DONE!
Richard, that soup sounds fabulous! Can I have a big bowl with my slushie please?
Are you OK now Gini? Have you got all those slushie ingredients washed off, or do we need to all get in the hot tub out back with you???
You sure can. I love to make it and try to make a huge pot and freeze what ever I can. There is nothing like a fast meal when you are tired and don't feel like cooking.Quote:

Look guys, I am really sorry about the swimming hole - it's a funny shade of green right now and VERY sticky! It's supposed to rain - so hope that it helps.
Richard - where were you when I needed you? Who knew that you had to "drive" this thing - not just turn it on.
Karen thanks for the towels - I put them in the washer - actually, they walked over and jumped in themselves.:rolleyes:
Oh, my bathing suit is all sticky and there are flies headed my way!
Guess I flunked bartending #101!
Why is Slick walking down the road drinking?
OH man,Quote:
