1 package Hurst's Split Peas, 12 cups water, 1 medium onion, chopped fine, 1 carrot, diced, 4 tablespoons butter or margarine, 1-1/2 to 2 teaspoons salt, 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon pepper, enclosed packet of ham flavoring. Edible dry peas are a raw agricultural product and come to us from the farmer. Although we carefully clean these peas, stones and debris may be present. Please rinse peas and remove debris before using. Combine Split Peas, water, chopped onion, diced carrot, butter or margarine. Cover (not too tightly), heat to boiling and boil rapidly 30 minutes. Add enclosed packet of ham flavoring with salt and pepper. Cover, reduce heat and simmer about 30 minutes. Stir occasionally. Taste-test to see that soup is smooth. If you wish it very smooth, you can puree it. Serve piping hot. If desired, croutons may be used as a garnish. Great, too, served ice-cold topped with chopped chives or green onions.
