Solutions to last week’s Sudoku

The Food Corner

by Paul Cormier, Salamanders of Kemptville

I can remember as a kid coming home from École Assomption in Kirkland Lake and being called: “Pea Soup”. That’s because the Catholic Irish School was exactly one block away and there was fairly intense rivalry between the two institutions. We retaliated with “Tête de bois”. Soupe aux pois was a staple in Maman Cormier’s home, particularly a couple of days after we’d had a feed of ham. She served it with bread from Émile’s Bakery, now long regretted and gone. Fortunately, in Kemptville, we have Grahame’s to provide us with a good old fashioned unsliced and scrumptious loaf of bread to have with our pea soup. So let’s go for Soupe aux pois, a French Canadian favourite.

Soupe aux pois

Ingredients

• 1 pound of dried yellow peas

• Enough water to cover and soak the peas

• 12 cups of additional water for the soup itself

• ½ pound of ham, cut into small cubes

• ½ cup of carrots, diced

• 1 can of potatoes, mashed with the juice

• 1 large chopped onion

• 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped or one teaspoon of crushed garlic

• 1 teaspoon (or more to taste) of black pepper

• ½ cup sour cream or natural Greek yoghurt

Preparation

• Wash and soak your peas for at least 12 hours (no need to refrigerate)

• Place the 12 cups of water in a soup pot and add the peas

• Bring to a boil, then add the carrots, onions, potatoes and garlic

• Simmer for a good 3 to 4 hours, adding black pepper to your taste

• In the last hour of simmering, add the ham

• Taste for level of saltiness: usually the ham is salty enough so you don’t need any more

• However, if you are cooking vegetarian without the ham, then you may need to add a bit of salt

• You can add water if the soup gets too thick

To serve, ladle into soup bowls, top with a dollop of sour cream or the Greek yoghurt. You can also garnish with some parsley, if you like. Accompany with a thick slice of the bread of your choice warmed up for the occasion and slathered with room temperature butter.

This soup keeps well in the fridge and just begs to go to work or school in a Thermos.
