Split Pea Soup for 100

Servings: 100 Portions (6 1/4 Gallons)
Portions: 1 Cup Each

4 1/2 quart (9 lb) peas, dry, split
3 gallon water, cold
2 cups (16 oz or 2/3-No. 2 1/2 can) Soup and Gravy base, ham
4 gallon water, boiling
1 quart (2 lb) ham trimmings, diced
1 quart (2 lb) onions, dry, ground or finely chopped
3 cups (1 lb 2 oz) carrots, fresh, grated
1/4 cup (1 1/2 oz) celery salt
4 bay leaves
1/4 cup (2 oz) sugar, granulated
1 teaspoon pepper, black

Pick over peas, removing any foreign matter. Wash thoroughly in cold water. Cover peas
with water. Bring to a boil. Add remaining ingredients to peas. Bring soup mixture to a
boil; reduce heat and boil gently about 2 1/2 hours, or until peas are mushy. Whip until
mixture is smooth. Add boiling water if needed for a thinner consistency.

NOTE:
Peas may be boiled 2 minutes, removed from heat, and allowed to stand 1 hour. Reduce
cooking time to 1 1/2 hours.

1-29 oz can canned ham chunks or 2 lb hot Italian sausage (browned and chopped) may be
substituted for ham. 2 lb frankfurters, thinly sliced may be added as a garnish in last
step.
