French Bread
I love this French Bread recipe by Jill Winger- it’s so simple to make!
French Bread Recipe | The Prairie Homestead
Split Pea Soup
- 16oz dry split peas
- 4 tbsp chicken bouillon powder
- 3 ½ quarts of water
- ½ to ¾ tsp tabasco
- 1 cup of frozen diced onion or half handful of dry minced onion (because I don’t chop onions)
- 4 almost heaping tsp dried dill
- 2 med potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- ½ tsp white pepper
- ½ to 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- 2 smoked ham hocks
- 1 to 2 cups milk
- 1 lb smoked sausage (optional depending on if you want to chop up the meat from the ham hocks)
- Add everything to your stockpot except ham hocks, milk, and sausage. Stir well.
- Add ham hocks.
- Bring to a boil. Lower to a simmer. Cover and simmer for 2 to 3 hours until peas are tender and mush easily with the back of your spoon.
- Remove hocks.
- Blend well using an immersion blender or let cool and blend in a regular blender.
- Once blended and back in the pot, stir in milk until desired creaminess. Pull meat of hocks or dice smoked sausage and add to soup.
If you prefer an Instant Pot….Reduce water to 5 cups. Once you close the lid set it to “Manual” for 18 minutes. Let it naturally release for at least 15 minutes.
