Every year, as is tradition, I receive the ham bone from Thanksgiving with whatever is left on it and I stash it in the freezer.

Every year, as is tradition, I also make soups for presents. Mostly for Great Grammy. Then I dine like a king on a semi solid of mashed up peas with chun ks of honey roasted ham.

What are some of your weird traditions?

I love making a lentil soup with the leftover ham bones. Mmm...I just at lunch and I still am making myself hungry by thinking about it.

Even gotta add that noise at the beginning like “ Ah h, pea soup!”

I don’t have a set recipe so it varies year to year but here’s the jest of it.

I fill a pot with water and let the ham/ bone s simmer for probably around 3 hours. I’ll add onion, carrots, garlic, celery, basil, oregano, and some chicken bu llion and let those cook for about an hour. Finally I add the lentils and let it cook for another hour. I generally don’t add salt and pepper to what I cook as I feel those can be added by the eater to their own tastes.

The best way to serve it in my opinion is with some olive oil, black pepper,  and parmesan cheese on top

I’ll have to try this out. I’ve not done much cooking with lentils.

I really like peas. That said... I have never once had pea soup. I feel like I need to go out and get some now.

Looks delicious! I didn’t know that kind of thick pea soup is a thing in the rest of the world, as here in the Netherlands it’s sort of seen as one of the national dishes. To make the soup even better we add slices of  smoked sausage as well

That’s cause Pea Soup with ham is fucking delicious.

What can’t be made even better with the addition of slices of smoked sausage?

What are the other national dishes of the Netherlands?

When I was in grade school, my grandmother used to make manicotti for Christmas Eve dinner. That got old to me pretty quickly though.

For the past 15-20 years, my mom has made Shrimp Creole for dinner one of the evenings before Christmas. This year will likely be the first that she’s made it after  Christmas though...mostly because we’re not going to be able to get to her house before 9 or 10 PM Christmas Eve.

Christmas Eve mani cotti sounds pretty good to me right now.

Green fluff.

My wife started a tradition after we were married. The leftover turkey carcass becomes turkey carcass gumbo. She based her recipe on Emeril’s ( https://www.emerils.com/122684/turkey-bone-gumbo )

We also make pineapple/cream cheese celery sticks , pimiento olive celery sticks , and deviled eggs.

Well, a few I can think of are hutspot (mashed potato with bits of carrot and onion mixed in, served with a minced meat sausage), stamppot (mashed potato with kale and pieces of bacon mixed in, served with a smoked sausage and gravy), and (completely different from the other two dishes ) thin pancakes. Most of those are very winter-y though, i n the summer it tends to be all a bit lighter.

Turkey carcasses are seriously under rated.

In the U.K. we just call it pea and ham soup and I love thick creamy pea and ham soup. Also chunky minted lamb soup and chunky chicken and vegetable soup. Heaven.

I was in California some years ago and was recommended to go here. They serve as much as you can eat.

My mom had an old recipe for “French Canadian Pea Soup”.  It was awesome after a day out in the damp.

Going off of my cooking post, what’s the difference between roast beef and pea soup?

Anyone can roast beef. Can you pee soup?

Add some shredded asiago cheese next time and garlic croutons. Yummy.

Is there anything different with French Canadian pea soup compared to other varieties?

Anything is soup if it's hot enough.

Without looking it up, I don’t know. The only difference I see from one pea soup to the next is that some are green and some are yellow.

Got some elk sausage for Christmas. It was a welcome addition to the last of pea soup.
