Yellow Pea Soup
( 4 servings)
½ I [1 pint] yellow peas
1 medium yellow onion
2-3 hg [7-10,5 oz.] lightly salted pork leg
2 I [4 pints] water
salt
pepper
marjoram and ginger
Clean and rinse the peas. Add the peas to the pan and pour in the water. Let the peas soak overnight. Peel and cut the onion into slices. Scrape and wash the pork. If you buy the pork leg or pork knuckles fresh, leave the meat in sugar brine overnight. Add pork and onions to the pan and let the pea soup cook until the pork is tender and the peas soft. Take out the pork, cut the meat in neat cubes and put it back in the soup. Taste pea soup with salt if necessary and add marjoram, thyme or ginger to taste. Serve the soup piping hot in heated plates or bowls.
