• In a blender, puree the soup in 2 batches until very smooth. If serving hot, return the soup to the pot and bring just to a simmer. If serving cold, transfer to the refrigerator to chill. Ladle into bowls. Stir the yogurt so that it is smooth and top each serving with a swirl of yogurt.

HAM BONE AND GREEN SPLIT PEA SOUP

Steps:

• Melt butter and oil in a Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Add celery, onion, carrot, and salt. Cook and stir until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in peas and garlic. Nestle ham bone into the pot; add stock and diced ham. Fill pot with water to about 1 1/2 inches from the top. Mix and bring soup to a boil.
• Reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer, scraping the bottom of the pot and stirring every 30 minutes, until peas are mostly disintegrated, about 2 1/2 hours. Turn ham bone and skim surface for fat once every hour. Take bone out, remove any meat, and return meat to the pot. Season with salt and pepper.

THATBOBBIEGIRL'S BETTER-THAN-CAMPBELLS GREEN PEA SOUP

Steps:

• Combine everything in a large, heavy-bottomed pot with a lid (use one that holds at least 6 quarts).
• Bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 3 1/2 to 4 hours or until peas are tender and soup reaches desired thickness.
• Puree in blender, or in the soup pot using a handheld stick blender (I love those things!) Re-heat if needed, over very low heat.
• I have slow-cooked this in a crockpot, but was not happy with the results.
• I did it just until the peas were done, but my husband and I agreed it tasted way overcooked, and even adding lemon juice didn't help much.
• Stove-top cooking just until the peas are tender gives this a much fresher taste.
• My family loves this served with freshly baked homemade bread and a tossed salad.
• VEGETARIANS: As is, this is not vegetarian, you can make it so, by substituting salt or a vegetarian bouillon for the chicken bouillon.
• LOW SALT DIETS: This is what I've done this for my mother in law who can't have salt: eliminate chicken bouillon, and add freshly squeezed lemon juice to taste.
• Usually about one lemon does it, but it depends on the size of the lemon.
• I recommend adding a bit of lemon if you're not salt-restricted, along with the bouillon- it's truly wonderful.
