Directions Ham and Pea Soup
Directions
-
Place bacon in a large pot and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels, crumble into pieces when cool.
Reduce heat to medium-low and add bacon grease to the pot. Add celery and onion, cook and stir until starting to brown. Slowly pour in water, bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and cook until vegetables are soft, about 1 hour.
Return bacon pieces to the pot. Sprinkle in thyme, sage, onion powder, parsley, and white pepper, stir to combine. Add cubed ham, simmer soup for flavors to combine, about 30 minutes.
Stir peas into the soup, cook until very tender and they start to disintegrate into the soup, about 30 minutes.
