Erwtensoep (Dutch Pea & Ham Soup)
Dutch soup goodness!
Serving: 6
Ingredients
- 2pkts green split peas, soaked overnight
- 2 small ham hocks (or one big one)
- 1 onion, grated
- 2 potatoes, peeled and chopped
- 1 carrot, peeled and grated
- 2 stalks of celery, chopped
- 1 Rookwurst Sausage
- 1 Litre Vegetable Stock
Instructions
- Place soaked peas, ham hock/s, and all vegies into slow cooker.
- Pour stock over.
- Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
- Remove hock/s - allow to cool enough to handle so you can remove the meat.
- At this point, I blitz the peas and veg together (Hubby likes it smooth)
- Slice the Rockworst up and add it and the meat from the ham hock/s back to the slow cooker, stir, and heat through, adding a little water if you like a thinner consistency.
- Serve with fresh crusty bread ?
Notes
- I prefer the split peas soaked overnight, but you don't have to
- I also prefer to blitz before adding meat back in, but again, it's purely personal preference
- Rookwurst is a Dutch Continental Sausage, available in the Deli section of most supermarkets

This is exactly the same as my recipe. Handed down by Oma. My entire family love it. I dont blitz though
I’m Dutch and we use celeriac instead of potatoes 🙂
We dice the carrots and celeriac in little cubes and most of us don’t blitz it all together. Nice to see a Dutch recipe here 🙂
