Dutch Snert Split Pea Soup Recipes

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine the first 9 ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until peas are tender, about 1 hour, stirring occasionally. , Add salt and pepper; simmer 10 minutes longer. Remove soup from heat; cool slightly. Process in batches in a blender or food processor until smooth; return to pan and heat through. If desired, garnish with carrots and green onions.

Steps:

• Place gammon in a large pot; cover with cold water and bring to a boil. Add split peas and pork belly; simmer for 10 minutes. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface of the water.
• Transfer gammon and pork belly to a plate using a slotted spoon. Strain split peas through a sieve, discarding water.
• Place gammon, split peas, and pork belly back into the pot; cover with fresh water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer gently until gammon and pork belly are tender, 2 to 3 hours.
• Transfer gammon and pork belly to a plate using a slotted spoon; cool until easily handled, about 10 minutes. Remove gammon from the bone and slice. Slice the meatiest parts off the pork belly.
• Stir the chopped meat back into the pot. Add celeriac, leeks, onions, and carrot; simmer until softened, about 15 minutes. Add whole sausage link; simmer until heated through, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove sausage link and slice into small pieces; stir back into the soup.
• Sprinkle celery leaves, salt, and pepper over soup. Simmer until celery leaves are warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes.

Steps:

• Place dried split peas, ham hock, and bacon into slow cooker; pour in chicken broth and 3 1/2 cups water.
• Cover cooker and cook on High until peas are tender and broken apart, 3 to 4 hours. Stir in more water as needed to prevent soup from burning on the bottom. Stir occasionally throughout cooking.
• Stir potatoes, carrots, leek, onion, celery, and garlic into soup; mix in more water, if needed. Cover and cook soup on High for 2 more hours.
• Season with salt, black pepper, thyme, nutmeg, and cloves; mix sausage slices into soup. Cover and cook 2 more hours to blend the flavors.

Steps:

• Wash and sort peas.
• Combine peas, water, salt, pepper, bay leaf and thyme in a large pot or Dutch oven.
• Press cloves into onion, and add to pot (if using a ham hock you may wish to add it now so it becomes more tender- but NOT the smoked sausage, as they split if overcooked).
• Bring mixture to a boil, then lower heat, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until peas are tender, about 1 hour.
• Remove the onion and bay leaf.
• Puree soup through a coarse sieve or in batches in the blender (be careful not to burn yourself!); return mixture to the pot.
• (I like to leave a little bit not pureed for texture).
• Add potatoes, ham, sausage.
• leek and celery.
• Simmer uncovered about 25-35 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
• Taste for seasoning and garnish soup with chopped parsley before serving.

Steps:

• In a non-reactive, large heavy stainless steel stockpot over medium heat, combine the split peas, 3 quarts cold water, the pig's knuckle or 2 pig's feet, bacon, leek greens, onion, and the chunked carrot. Cut half of the celeriac into large chunks and add along with the bouquet garni. Bring to a boil over medium high heat. Reduce the heat, partially cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the peas are very soft, about 2 hours.
• Remove the pig's knuckle; set aside to cool. Remove and discard the bouquet garni. Puree the remaining contents of the pot in batches in a food mill or processor until smooth. Return to the pot.
• Cut the meat from the pig's knuckle and add to the pot along with the white part of the leek, the chopped carrot, and the celery. Finely chop the remaining celeriac and add it to the pot. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until all of the vegetables are soft, about 30 minutes.
• Stir in the kielbasa and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot in soup bowls, with the chopped parsley on top. Serves 6 to 8.
