Whats your best/ favourite soup receipe?

[*Elle*]

mmmmmm yum soup,

I love pea and ham soup of course being a vego I make a vegie version for me and a ham one for everyone else.

I dont really have any measurements I just add stuff LOL,

In a big soup pot I fill it up about half way with water I then add about 4 decent size bacon hocks ( I use hocks because they have more meat on them than the bacon bones )
and about 1 pkt of yellow split peas
and let that come to the boil I turn it to simmer and leave it for a couple of hours,

I then add about 3 or 4 large onions sliced fairly thinkly and heaps of carrot again sliced really thincklyand let that cook for another couple of hours,

toward the end I scoop out the bacon hocks and pull the meat off and add it back to the soup, I also may add some vegetable stock for flavour if it needs it, I usually use Vegeta.

For the vegetarian version I do the same thing I judt dont add the bacon hocks and I add a little more stock as it really needs the flavour but I do that about half way through cooking the vegies so that I can get a true taste and add just a small amount at a time so as it does not become over powering.

keep checking the water as it is cooked for a while and does need topping up.

I love this soup its soooo yummy and gets even better the next day or so and is easy to freeze.

Enjoy!
