      Title: Ma's Pea Soup
 Categories: 
      Yield: 1 Servings
 
      1 lb To 1 1/2 peas
      1    Ham bone
      3    Potatoes; halved
      3    Carrots; sliced
      1    Onion; chopped
           Salt & pepper to taste
 
  Wash and pick over peas to remove any little
  stones. Put in a large kettle, cover with water
  and simmer a few hours. Meanwhile, simmer ham bone,
  covered with water, separately from the peas. When
  the peas are soft, strain them. Put back into
  kettle, add ham picked from the bone, ham juice
  and remaining ingredients. Peas will mush up and
  turn into a puree as the soup finishes cooking.
  Simmer gently until potatoes are done.
