Date: 2024-02-02

Join us for another week of everyday living in Alaska as we work around the house, go grocery shopping and share the "Alaska Factor" of food costs at our local grocery store in Wasilla and Stacey take's the lead in the kitchen this week to whip up a bulk batch of her favorite Mom's Split Pea and Ham Soup while Gary reports in on an unexpected injury that has possibly put Gary on the sidelines for the rest of the winter season. As always thanks for watching and we hope to see you again next week here on Living Free Alaska.

Stacey's Mom's Split Pea and Ham Soup Recipe: 
2 cups dried split peas 
1 rib of celery diced 
1 large carrot diced 
1 med onion chopped 
2 ham hocks 
1 pork shank 
1 small smoked ham diced 
1 garlic clove minced 
salt and pepper to taste. 

Add 4-6 cups water with 4 tsp chicken bouillan (or mix 50/50 with chicken broth and water as we did in this video) to large pot or crockpot. Add split peas and all other ingredients except the smoked ham to the pot. Let simmer for 2-3 hours or to the desired consinstancy your desire. About an hour from being done pull out the ham hocks and discard, remove the pork shank and separate meat off of shank and return shank meat back to the soup mixture along with the diced smoked ham at the same time. Let simmer for remaining time.
