On days like today, I start to crave soups like Grandma used to make. I remember long, rainy afternoons when Grandma would make soup, and often Grandpa would be home because the weather would prevent him from working. Even though I didn't like pea soup as a kid, I loved the atmosphere of its creation.
Since we had a ham bone left over from Easter, I decided to use it to make soup this morning. If found a good recipe from The Food Network by Emeril and gave it a try. I tested the soup at lunch and it's quite yummy. Hopefully Brian and Jack will like it -- somehow I think Jack, our pea lover, will be more enthusiastic than his dad.
I'll try to post their reactions later.
UPDATE FROM DAY 2 of THE SOUP:
Even better the second day... My picky, non-pea-eating husband happily ate a second bowl of soup today without complaint. A success in my book. Jack, however, wouldn't touch it.
