I buy cheap smoked hams and double smoke them on my smoker. They come out great and the left over bone and meat makes some awesome soup in February! No protection needed I made plenty and am willing to share.

That looks superb. Maybe with some cornbread?

Fantastic! I also double-smoke cheap hams, but my bones usually end up in split pea soup. I concur on making enough to share.

yummmmmmmmmm!

Look good. I also make plenty but since retiring I stopped making it as my wife won't eat it

Love split pea soup but I'm the only one I know who likes it so I don't ever make any. I wait for St. Patty's day when it's served everywhere.

I could never do smoked beans, They keep falling through the grate.

That looks delicious!

Bigger bowl!

You have a lot more ingredients in your bean soup than what I am used to.

I buy the bag of 15 different beans and soak them overnight. After that it's ham, carrots, onion, celery, garlic, and cabbage. Kosher salt and lots of fresh black cracked pepper.

I'm a huge navy bean and ham soup guy especially in the cold months. Use a ham bone with plenty of meat left on it.

This recipe is da bomb!

In Oregon I used to buy Andersen's Pea Soup--both in the restaurants and in cans. Sure wish it were available here.

Man, that looks pretty delicious! It actually looks very similar to my mom's bean soup!

Sounds very tasty to me, our version sounds rather bland now, just pinto beans, ham, with more liquid.

Yum! Minnesota is a bit of a drive for me. Do you ship?

Everything a good soup like that should have, and nothing it shouldn't. Looks great.

Man... now I'm thinking we need to make either a bean and ham soup or split pea and ham. I need to get going on this smoking game, too.

If you're ever up in Ontario, try some of their Habitant split-pea soup. Best stuff I've ever had.

Actually, I believe Amazon sells it now too.

That looks good.

I’ve had Andersen’s split pea soup in Buellton, CA (the original store), and wasn’t impressed. It would be more accurately described as split pea mush, and not all that tasty. I like my split pea soup thick, but not that thick.
