Swedish Style Pea Soup


crockpot, soups

1 cup yellow split peas
1 meaty ham hock
2 quart water
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
4 carrots; diced
1 onion; diced
1 salt and pepper; to taste
2 tablespoon dry sherry (optional)

Soak the peas overnight and drain. Place in the crockpot along with the ham hock, water, mustard, carrots and onion. Cover and cook on LOW for 8 to 12 hours. When the peas are tender, mash lightly with a spoon. Add salt and pepper and if desired the sherry. Heat about 30 minutes more. Sometimes I cook this overnight and just heat up when it's time to eat.
