2 cups Dried Peas
1 quart Chicken Broth
2 cups Cold Water
2 stalks Celery, Chopped (including Tops)
1 whole Medium Onion, Chopped
2 whole Large Carrots, Chopped
1 whole Ham Hock (optional)
1/2 teaspoons Dried Thyme
1/2 teaspoons Dried Marjoram
1 whole Bay Leaf
1 dash Cayenne
Salt And Pepper, to taste
Fresh Peas, To Serve

1
Put everything (except fresh peas) into a large stock pot and bring to a boil. Cover and cook slowly on medium heat until all vegetables are soft, at least 1 hour.
2
If you're vegan, you can omit the ham hock and use water instead of broth or use veggie broth.
3
Remove ham hock and bay leaf then use an immersion blender to puree. You could also do this in batches in a blender. I like to leave it a little chunky.
4
It should be thick and creamy when you're done.
5
Add fresh peas to soup just to heat through. Don't overcook them!
6
Ladle into a warm bowl, season with extra black pepper if you like and enjoy!
