Ingredients

Units: US Metric
  • 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

Steps

  1. Soak the dry peas overnight in about 4 cups of cold water.
  2. Add 8 cups of water to the peas and soaking water. Simmer the peas in a pot until soft.
  3. In a separate pot, boil the smoked butt for 40 minutes per pound.
  4. Cut the smoked butt into small cubes, and add to the softened pea stock.
  5. Add the onion and half the salt and pepper. Adjust to taste, and mix in the thyme.
  6. Cook for at least 5 minutes together, adding water from the meat if the stock is too thick. Cook longer if it is too thin.
