To make sure that the peas soften sufficiently when cooking, soak the peas overnight in cold water, adding a half teaspoon of baking soda to the water. Rinse well before cooking.<\/p>\n<p>Place all the ingredients in a pot.\u00a0Bring to a boil and simmer for about an hour. When the peas are soft, remove the bay leaf. Stir the soup several times, the peas will dissolve and give it a creamy consistence. Cut the meat off the bone, or slice the sausage and stir it back in the soup. Adjust the flavour with salt and pepper if needed.<\/p>\n<p>This soup is best served the next day, when the flavours have blended. Reheat carefully, as the soup thickens overnight and can burn easily. Thin with a little bit of warm water if needed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"stream-item stream-item-below-post-content\">\n<div class='tenancy_slot tenancy_slot_1 jannah_ad' style='display: none;' data-query-id='00bfa3ccf8d32d68f48b1f248429b2ab'><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the widespread pea soup weather, here&#8217;s a recipe for delicious, hearty, split pea soup with smoked ham hock or smoked sausage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7782,"featured_media":124623,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"hasGravity":false,"cxt_article_byline":"Caxton Central","cxt_disable_google_ads":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,3686],"tags":[11311,11312,11313,11314],"class_list":["post-124622","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment-news","category-lifestyle-news","tag-dutch-split-pea-soup","tag-split-pea-soup","tag-split-pea-soup-with-smoked-ham-hock","tag-split-pea-soup-with-smoked-sausage"],"amp_enabled":true,"category_labels":{"Category":"Lifestyle","SubCategory":"Entertainment"},"tag_labels":["dutch split pea soup","Split pea soup","split pea soup with smoked ham hock","split pea soup with smoked sausage"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124622","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7782"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=124622"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124622\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/124623"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=124622"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=124622"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=124622"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
