This is the Pea soup we serve with Piruka. You can cook this on top of the stove, crockpot, or in a roasting pan in the oven. I prefer to cook it in the oven or a Large cockpot when I am not going to be home. But if I do it in a cockpot I have to cut the recipe in half.

How To Make my swedish pea soup

    Yes, you are going to use all four different kinds of peas. Please not we are talking about Ham as American's make which is sweet. Ours is roasting only in a little water.

    Put it all the ingredience in a roasting pan with a open vent and cover. Set in oven at 350*. It will need to cook all day till it is reduced to the consistence you like. You will need to stir it occasionally to lift the peas from the bottom. Add as much salt and pepper as you like. Remove ham bones and hock bones. Cut off the ham and whatever meat you have on the hooks. Return to soup. We do not throw away the ham bone, the hook bones or the fat. It is all return to the soup after we have finished serving. We return it to the leftover soup as it keeps adding flavor to the soup. It freezes beautifully.

    We serve this with homemade Black Russian Rye bread/with lots of sweet butter or Piruka. When I cook this, I start it cooking before I go to bed. I don't sleep well, for me it's not an inconvenience.
