  1. I've been making Pea Soup for more than 40 years and it never occurred to me to use the stock from a cottage roll, which I love. I usually buy a pork hock, and it can turn out somewhat salty, but the stock from the cottage roll, while it was salty before adding the veggies, it actually needed salt added after cooking the peas. I don't use the blender to puree the peas as it is just less work to soak them over-night and let them fall apart during cooking. If you want to thicken it up somewhat grate 1-2 raw potatoes into it about an hour before it is done. That is my secret.
     
  2. The secret to good Habitant Pea Soup according to my mother is to GRATE the carrots fine, not chop them. This is good comfort food on a cold winter day!
     
  3. Great soul-warming soup on a cold wintery day. So easy to make in a crock for a day with other things to attend to. I used my stick blender to smooth it up a little but I like it chunky. Thanks for sharing a great and easy recipe. Made for Pick A Chef Spring 2011.
