PEA SOUP AND DUMPLINGS

INGREDIENTS

• 1½ pk. split peas
• ham bone, with extra ham
• piece of salt beef, cut up
• diced carrot and turnip (cut small)
• potatoes (about 6) cut into ½ inch pieces
• pepper
• 2 chopped onions
• I used onion powder, and if you are not using salt beef, add salt to taste.
• 
  
• dumpling ingredients:
• 2 cups flour
• 2 tspn. baking powder
• 2 tspn. sugar
• 2 tbsp. margarine

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Boil the ham bone, ham, salt beef and peas for about 1 hr.
2. Add carrot and turnip and potatoes, and boil for an extra ½ hr.
3. If making dumplings, add about 15 minutes after veggies, and cook 15 minutes, without raising cover.
4. I prefer to make 1 large dumpling and cut it up after it’s cooked.
5. To make dumplings mix all ingredients together and add water to make dough, knead, adding a little flour til it’s no longer sticky
6. cut into as many pieces as you want dumplings, rounding the dough and dropping it into the soup
7. I recommend cooking everything on medium heat..pea soup likes to stick on and burn on high heat.
