Split Pea Soup

Growing up near the famous Pea Soup Anderson's, I have never had pea soup...in all of my 29 years of life. I don't like peas AT ALL....but one day I walked into my Nina's house and she was making soup. Before I left, I decided to give it a spoon taste and it was so good, she sent me home with a Tupperware for hubby to try. Well I don't think it lasted that long cause I ate it all hahaha...

I decided to buy a bag of peas and have had them for a few weeks but kept forgetting to buy bacon (we eat turkey bacon and needed pork) or smoked ham hock everytime I went to town. Today I finally remembered! Yay me :) I put a pot of water, dried peas and a hock to boil until peas got super soft..when it was done I added salt to taste. You can cook with diced onions or celery or carrots (I chose not to) I added a dollop of sour cream and some cheese to my bowl and that made it much more creamy and tasty! Even my picky eater Isabel like it :))))
