Elaines Easy French Canadian Pea Soup Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Chefelaine / All my dishes 3 weeks, 4 days ago This soup is inexpensive, easy to make, and delicious. The secret lies with the pressure cooker, which completely collapses the peas, and draws out every bit of flavor from them, as well as the ham and bone! Prep:10m Cook:25m Servings:10	Chefelaine

Ingredients

1 medium sized ham bone with some meat left intact

1 tsp dehydrated onion flakes

salt to preference (I used none here because the ham had enough)

1/4 tsp black pepper

4 cups dehydrated peas

3/4 cup heavy cream

6 cups cold water

Directions

place the cold water and the ham bone with meat intact into the pressure cooker

Clamp the lid

Bring to a boil slowly, then increase flame to high to produce steam and pressure.

When the little indicator post rises, the pressure release will shoot off some steam.

Turn heat off, and allow to cool enough to remove the clamped lid. DO NOT attempt to rush this, as SERIOUS burns could result.

When the lid is safely removed, add the onion, pepper, and dried peas (and salt if you're using any)

Clamp the lid again and bring to boil until steam and pressure begins to escape.

Turn off heat immediately, and again allow to cool until the lid can be loosened safely.

When the lid is removed, slowly add the heavy cream and combine well.

The beauty of this is that the peas rehydrate very quickly and literally 'explode' in the pressure cooker, bringing out every bit of flavor, resulting in a hearty, thick soup.

ENJOY! :+D

This is perfect for the cold days coming... The pees and ham combination is so perfect. I make pees soup quite often, I will definitely try yours next time and let you know. What kind of ham do you use? I always use what we have available that is smoked ham (portuguese traditional). 5 forks
