Love the ham in this hearty soup! Great for cold weather evenings!
Soak 1 cup dried peas in 2 quarts water overnight. Drain peas, and cover with fresh water. Add 1 medium onion, diced. Add 1 ham hock or pieces of ham. Cook until peas and meat are tender. You may sieve the peas if you wish, but they will mash up quite well. Blend 1 tablespoon flour and 2 tablespoons melted butter. Stir slowly into the mixture and cook 2-3 minutes. Then slowly add the 1 1/2-2 cups milk and the cream. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Heat and serve.

Saute onion and celery until tender. Add the split peas, potatoes, broth, ham hock or trimmings, bay leaf and pepper.
How can I get my pea soup smooth, without having to put it in the blender?
In a Dutch oven combine all ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; partially cover and simmer 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally.
