2 quarts cold water
2 cups green split peas
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp dried marjoram
Dash of cayenne pepper
1 bay leaf
salt and pepper to taste
Mix all ingredients. Thyme and marjoram should be powdered. Cover and cook slowly for 1 hour or more. It should cook until the peas are very soft. Put through a coarse sieve. Reheat to boiling. Serve in piping hot bowls. I also serve with dark eye bread and butter. Serves 6-8 people.
I want to apologize for not having the Christmas recipes on this year. With the wedding, I just got behind Jean

It's ok, but not one of my favorites!
Good morning, Marilyn. I really like split pea soup, but I like it chunky! LOL No straining for me! Have a great day!
I love split pea soup - sometimes I add a bit of ham to it also. A wonderful meal for a cold day! Thanks for the recipe and please don't apologize for not having Christmas recipes - taking care of the wedding was of first importance.

Good Morning Tom,

Good Morning Mary,
It sounds good with ham in it. I will see that Jean gets your message.

Hi Kymber,
It would be delicious soup for someone who liked it. Jean is a great soup maker. I will see she gets your message.
