Measure | Ingredient |
---|---|
2 cans | (13.75-oz) chicken broth |
2 cups | Water |
1 pounds | Quick-cooking split peas |
1 medium | Onion; sliced |
1 small | Carrot; sliced |
1 | Bay leaf |
¾ cup | Non-dairy powdered creamer |
¾ cup | Boiling water |
3 tablespoons | Butter |
1 cup | Slivered; cooked ham |
½ teaspoon | Celery salt |
⅛ teaspoon | Pepper |
Combine chicken broth, 2 cups water, peas, onion, carrot and bay leaf in kettle or large saucepan. Cover and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching, until peas are tender, about 2 hours.
Press through coarse sieve and return to the kettle, stirring in the creamer, boiling water, butter and ham. Heat through; season with salt and pepper. (If you like a thinner soup, add more chicken broth.) Makes 7 cups.
