How To Make Green Split Pea Soup

Hearty winter soup
Making split pea soup starts with rinsed, soaked and drained split peas that have been picked over for any poor beans that you discard and a special touch from this cook's pantry of smoked salt. You can have the pea puree by simmering two hours on a hot stove and then mashing in a blender or with a potato masher. This is the base of the soup and other ingredients are added to achieve a lavish presentation of the classic, filling, tasty split pea soup. .
