Directions:

1. Rinse and sort peas.
2. Cover peas with water, add meat, vegetables and seasonings. Simmer 2 to 2 1/2 hours until tender.
3. Add water as necessary to desired consistency.
4. To make it creamier, scoop some cooked peas and pass through sieve or blender, then return to soup.

Serving Suggestions

1. For a richer soup, use milk instead of water to adjust consistency.
2. For a creamy sauce, replace water with milk and use as a topping on fresh vegetables such as yellow squash, green beans, or asparagus.
3. To thicken consistency of soup or sauce, add bread crumbs and/or grated sharp cheddar cheese.
