The ingredients for 4-Meat Split Pea Soup are:

300 grams clean sliced leeks
200 grams onion, coarsely chopped
400 grams carrot, peeled and cut into small cubes
600 grams celeriac (or turnip, or potato), peeled and cut into small cubes
700 grams lean unsalted pork meat (chops, loin). If bone in, be sure to have 700 grams of meat on but do not remove bones before cooking
400 grams bone-in pork meat (spare ribs, country-style chops, or hocks)
250 grams smoked pork (bacon, canadian bacon, ham), cut into small cubes
450 grams smoked sausage (polska kielbasa or other), sliced into rounds
1000 grams dried split peas

**HINT** to keep celeriac and carrots from shriveling or discolouration: put the cubes in a bowl with just enough cold water to cover, until needed. No need to drain, simply add all to the soup pan.

Here is how you make 4-Meat Split Pea Soup:

1. In a large stock pot, combine onions, lean pork, and bone-in pork meats with 3 liters of water and a pinch of salt (do not over-salt, as later meat additions will bring enough flavour to the soup!).2. Bring to the boil, then turn down and simmer for approximately 90 minutes, or until meat is tender. **Hint**: Use this time to wash and chop the rest of the vegetables.3. Remove meat from pan, allow to cool slightly, and remove the meat from the bones. Seive stock carefully if any bones have splintered! Cut or break meat into bite-sized chunks and return to the pan with the stock.4. Add carrots, celeriac, bacon cubes, and split peas. Bring to the boil, then turn down and simmer approximately 90 minutes or until peas are completely softened. **BE CAREFUL**:As the peas cook, gently stir the pan regularly or the soup will scorch! Add extra water as needed during the cooking time if the soup gets too thick (it should only thicken during the last few minutes or if re-heating).5. During the final 15 minutes of cooking, add the leeks and slices of smoked sausage and stir through.10 - 12 ServingsNumber of Servings: 12Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user LIRANAE.
