For a HUGE 16+-serving batch:
1lb split peas (1-16 oz bag)
1lb lentils (1-16 oz bag)
1lb pearl barley (1-16 oz bag)
4 stalks celery
1 medium onion
3 cloves garlic
1/2 - 1tsp pepper (to taste)
3 tsp oregano
2 bay leaves
2 tsp corriander
8 cups pork broth (this is homemade... can be substituted with can of chicken, vegetable or beef broth for a different flavor, but will probably boost the sodium)
16 cups water
1 smoked ham-hock (~2-3 oz), trimmed of fat (optional! This is for that real split-pea soup taste)

Here is how you make Felidstar's Split-pea, Lentils and Barley soup:

Serve warm in 1 cup portions, with whole-wheat, rye or sourdough bread, or rice-cakes. I like to freeze the leftovers in 1-cup portions to make it an easy, no-work dinner down the road!For a HUGE 16+-serving batch:Prep:- Wash, sort and drain the split-peas and the lentils- Chop the onion, celery and garlic- Trim all the fat off the ham-hock* pork broth was made by simmering pork-chop bones in 12 cups of water, chopped onions, celery, garlic and pepper. Cool broth overnight in the refrigerator and skim the fat off the top before using.Cooking!:1) Add broth and water to a large pot, and turn it on to medium-high.2) Add all ingredients to the warmed soup base, and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.3) After the soup boils, lower temperature to "low" and cover the pot, letting the soup simmer for up to three hours, or until the split-peas have liquefied and the lentils and barley are soft. Check on it about every half-hour and stir.4) Serve and salt to taste. I made this soup to be relatively low-sodium, so it IS kind of bland, but I think it's better to add the salt at the end :)If desired, remove ham-hock and discard. This will lower the fat and proteins consumed.Number of Servings: 16Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user FELIDSTAR.
