Ingredients
Scale
- 16 oz split yellow Swedish peas
- 12 cup water
- 2–3 lb smoked pork butt
- 1 large yellow onion, peeled and chopped
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon thyme
Directions
- Soak the dry peas overnight in about 4 cups of cold water.
- Add 8 cups of water to the peas and soaking water. Simmer the peas in a pot until soft.
- In a separate pot, boil the smoked butt for 40 minutes per pound.
- Cut the smoked butt into small cubes, and add to the softened pea stock.
- Add the onion and half the salt and pepper. Adjust to taste, and mix in the thyme.
