Left-over ham from yesterday?

[stevej37]

Easy decision here...My favorite soup...Ham and Split Pea!

[Starless]

Yes, I agree. My wife makes a killer split pea soup. Strange thing is, I hate peas, but love the pea soup.

[flatbutt]

It's not bad with potatoes and onions in an omelette.

[Erakad]

That sounds great, but the ham bone is headed for red beans and rice for New Years!

[Shaun @ Tru6]

That looks amazing with the corn bread! I fry up some bacon and add it to canned pea soup, always makes it so much better.

You put potatoes in with your egg - for the omelette - or are you saying potatoes on the side?

This is what I usually use....or the back of the bag of the peas!

If no ham...I make it with sliced smoked sausage. I like that equally.
Either way...it's one of the easiest meals to make.

There's three of us here in the house - never could figure out how to split pea soup.

[stevej37]

^^^hold the pea carefully in your left hand. Take a good swing at the pea with a sharp knife in your right hand.....and pray!

Oh!...I thought you were talking splitting the pea.

OK thank you......looks very straight forward.

Not sure if this would work with split pea but I had some lentil soup once with venison sausage in it and it was insane. Best soup I've ever eaten!

[red-beard]

Breakfast tacos.

Sauté some chopped onions. Add in some chopped ham near the end. Add in egg mixture and cook like a omelets. Add cheese to "omelets" with the pan off, leave "flat".

Warm flour tortilla on a griddle. Slice the omelet into strips and put in the tortilla. Add mashed potatoes if you wish. Maybe a little hot sauce or salsa.

Alternative: Mix salsa into the egg mixture or the ham-onion mixture.

Grilled ham and cheese sandwiches.

Saved my bone for the New Year's black eye peas.

[stevej37]

^^^ Good choice.
The bone doesn't do much for the pea soup...it's the meat that counts.

I put a layer of potatoes in the cast iron and just get em' soft then add the onions and toss it around. The eggs go on top until just barely firm, turn off the heat and flip the omelette over for a few seconds.

^^^ with swiss cheese and mustard. (and mayo)

[Bill Douglas]

Wooo, that soup sure does look good!


I'm also one for ham sammiches. None of that good for you type brown bread. I like just baked white bread, the ham and a little bit of mustard. No so much as to over power the ham, but just enough to style it up a bit And no point in ruining a perfectly good sandwich by adding lettuce and tomatoe.

[stevej37]

^^^ I agree.
Lettuce and tomatoes are worthless except for adding color to your sammich.
Mayo is a given..gotta have it....substance is the most important. Thin bread is best.

Okay thanks for the clarification - sounds great! Love potatoes with my eggs!
