- 1 carrot, diced
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 medium stalk celery, diced
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/4 teaspoon thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 dash pepper
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
Instructions
- If desired, a ham bone and a small amount of cut-up ham can be added to this soup.
- Put all ingredients into a large soup pot. Bring to a boil, and boil 15 minutes. Simmer, covered, until the peas are soft.
