Ingredients
  • 1 pkg of dry split-peas. Most of them don't require pre-soaking, so read carefully.

  • 4 cups of water
  • 2 smoked sausages, cooked
  • 1 pound of torn shoulder ham
  • 5 carrots, chopped
  • 3-5 stalks of celery, chopped
  • 4 potatoes, thickly chopped
  • 1/3 cup of butter
  • chopped parsley
  • oregano
  • salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  2. Add the pkg of split-peas
