Whole Yellow Pea Soup

Yields: 9 servings

2 cups dry yellow split peas
8 cups chicken stock
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1 smoked ham shank
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Cover the peas with at least 3 inches of cold water and soak overnight.
Drain the peas from the water. In a large kettle or stockpot, bring the
chicken stock and peas to a hard boil for 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to a
simmer. Add the chopped onion and ham shank, and cook for an additional
two hours. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove the ham shank before
serving.
