Pea Soup Recipe (French Canadian)

My Split Pea Soup Recipe 7718notbob You are correct, pureeing breaks up solids and adds air making things less dense. You again are correct... she hasn't...
In large pan, pour in split peas, ham bone, water and spices. While bringing this mixture to boil, cut carrots and dice onions and add to the mixture. Cover, and reduce heat to low. Continue to cook until water is absorbed and peas are tender. This will likely take 1-2 to 1 hour. Cook longer for thicker soup.
Canning Instructions: Spoon hot soup into hot clean quart or pint canning jars, fill to about 1 inch from top of jar. Remove air bubbles, wipe jar rims and adjust lids. Cook at 10 (for weighted canners) or 11 lbs (for dial-gauge canners) for 90 minutes for quarts and 75 minutes for pints. Allow heat to reduce naturally. Remove jars and let cool on racks. Makes 3 1-2 to 4 quarts. Double and treble recipe for bigger batches.
