Atkins Soup Recipes

Ingredients:

2 tbsp olive oil, divided
8 oz diced smoked ham, (1 1/2 cup)
1 small onion, chopped
1 cup green split peas, (7 oz)
1 can chicken broth, mixed with
1 can water
1/2 tsp dried sage leaves
salt
black pepper

Instructions:

This shortcut recipe is as flavorful as pea soup simmered for hours with
ham hocks. Split peas are an exellent source of fiber, phosphorous and
potassium.

1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large saucepot over medium heat. Cook ham 5
minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove with a slotted spoon and set
aside.

2. Add remaining tablespoon of oil to pot. Cook onion 5 minutes, until
softened. Add peas, broth mixture and sage. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to
low and cook 35 minutes, or until peas are tender.

3. Puree half the soup in a blender, and return to pot along with reserved
ham. Cook over medium heat 10 minutes for flavors to blend. Add salt and
pepper to taste.

Yeah, Well, just how do you determine 1/6th of a pot??? I dumpped it all
out and measured it to be a little over 5 cups. Added enough water to make
it be 6 cups and now the serving will be 6 (one cup) servings.
