Split Pea Soup

Ingredients

• 1 pint of split peas
• 1 1/2 quarts of boiling water
• 1 quart of stock
• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Wash the peas in cold water (rejecting those which float) and soak them over night. In the morning drain the water off and cover them again with 1 qt. of the boiling water. Boil until tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Now add the stock and 1 pint of the boiling water. Press the whole through a sieve; wash the soup kettle, return the soup, boil up once, add salt and pepper and serve with croutons. Dried pea soup may be made in exactly the same manner, using 1 pint of dried peas instead of the split ones.
