Waste Not Want Not - Pea Soup from Pork Jowls: Frugality in the 17 and 1800's | HISTORY | PIONEER |

 

Cathy collects carrots and cabbage from the root cellar and Peter gets a pork jowl from the elevated food cache and water from the creek. They make a pea soup and Peter gives a wee bit of history about the frugal habits of our ancestors. Recipe: About 2 cups of dried split peas boiled in about 4 cups of water until soft. You can add more water or less water, to taste. Then mush the peas. Saute the onions with the pork jowls (substitute bacon or smoked ham) and add to the pot. Chop about 4 carrots and a small cabbage and add to the pot. Simmer until carrots are cooked. Season with salt and pepper.
