Split Pea Soup

  • 1 cup dried split peas
  • 2 1/2 quarts cold water
  • 1 pint milk
  • 1/2 onion
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 inch cube fat salt pork
Pick over peas and soak several hours, drain, add cold water, pork, and onion. Simmer three or four hours, or until soft; rub through a sieve. Add butter and flour cooked together, salt, and pepper. Dilute with milk, adding more if necessary. The water in which a ham has been cooked may be used; in such case omit salt.
