Great camp, cabin and RV soup recipe tested by the ultimate outdoorsmen! This recipe was developed for two forest rangers with limited provisions and storage and taken from The Lookout Cookbook, 1938. U.S. Forest Service, Region One.
Ingredients:
- 1 can sweet peas
- milk (to taste)
- salt and pepper (to taste)
- butter (to taste)
- boiled ham (optional)
Preparation:
Heat canned peas in sauce pan. Then add milk and salt, pepper and butter to taste, heat and serve. Diced ham added to pea soup will give a delicious flavor.
Editor's note: Using the added ham suggestion, I spice it all up by adding a sprinkle or two of adobo seasoning, a couple of shakes of Louisiana hot sauce, slivers of a section of sweet onion and thicken with a small amount of biscuit gravy mix. I substitute olive oil for butter. Best ham and pea chowder I've ever tasted!
