Pea Soup With Ham Steak Recipes

From Better Homes & Gardens New Cook Book (1981), page 756.

This soup is great on a cold winter day and is wonderful for freezing and taking to work for lunch.

This soup is hearty and you will never realize that it's good for you. It's very filling and I love to make a big pot of it when it's super cold outside. I always make sure to keep some of this in my freezer for days when I don't feel like cooking.

This is a nice alternative to the traditional split pea with ham soup.

Comfort food without the guilt!

I saved a Ham Bone with a little meat on it to make this split pea soup, so the amount of ham is an estimation.

Very quick and easy. Easy way to use a cheap cut of meat.

The glaze is the tasty secret to this new version of a traditional favorite!

Loads of fiber with a good mix of the other stuff. This soup has more texture than regular Split-Pea.

Mushroom soup makes delicious gravy and meat is tender and well done.

This is a great tasting meal for famlies on a budget or anyone who just wants a great satifying meal. This can be served over mashed potatoes or noodles.

I call this Monday pasta because my kids expect some variation on this theme most Mondays. You can vary the vegetables, pasta shape, and protein. Use chicken instead of ham. Add prawns and asparagus to make a fancier dinner for company. I also make a vegetarian version adding broccoli and omitting the ham.

Time to Pick a Bone
You can make a good ham and bean soup using just cubes of ham alone, but to get the best flavor you should use a ham bone. You can get your ham bone from the butcher, since they will often give them away or sell them very cheaply, or you can use a leftover bone from a ham that you have served for dinner.

If you are making a ham for dinner, then any leftover ham can be used in the soup as well. In fact, the best ham and bean soup recipes use both ham bones as well as cubes of ham.

Perfect meal for a cool day.

These black eye peas are both vegetarian, low sodium and easy to prepare! I enjoy them over rice.
