German Split Pea Soup

Serves 4 • Prep Time 15 minutes • Cook Time 1 hour 15 minutes
What could make steaming bowlfuls of this smoky pea soup even more perfect? Flaky, warm Chive and Cheddar Biscuits served alongside.

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 slices bacon, finely chopped
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 ribs celery, finely chopped
1 large carrot, peeled and finely chopped
Kosher salt to taste
2 tablespoons flour
10 sprigs flat-leaf parsley
8 sprigs fresh thyme
2 bay leaves
1 pound green split peas, rinsed and drained
2 large smoked ham hocks
Freshly ground  black pepper to taste

1 Put oil and bacon into a 6-quart pot and cook over medium-high heat until crisp, about 6 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate; set aside. Add onion, celery and carrots to the pot, season with salt, and cook until soft, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Stir in flour; cook, stirring, 3 minutes.

2
Tie parsley, thyme and bay leaves together with kitchen twine; add to the pot along with peas, ham hocks and 7 cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, until peas are very tender, about 1 hour. Remove from heat. Discard herbs. Transfer hocks to a plate and let cool; pull off and chop the meat; discard fat, skin and bones. Stir meat into the soup, season with salt and pepper, and ladle into bowls. Sprinkle with reserved bacon.

How can you offer such cheap

happywomen's picture
by happywomen on May 23, 2012
How can you offer such cheap eyeglasses? Founded by eye-doctors, and eye-experts, Bestpriceglasses.com offers customers an inexpensive solution for acquiring high-quality, complete prescription eyeglasses and sunglasses through its e-commerce website. Completely eyeglasses experts owned, its creators realized from their private practice and retail offices that they could bypass high-priced retail enterprises to offer the same high-quality, finished prescription eyewear at a much reduced cost. What's more, all men's eyeglasses, women's eyeglasses, and kids eyeglasses are manufactured solely in the United States. With our state-of-the-art, consumer-friendly e-commerce website, customers save an average of 80 percent when purchasing discount glasses from Bestpriceglasses.com. Although our eyewear is manufactured with the same high-quality materials seen at more expensive establishments, we can offer them at a large discount because of our tremendous volume. We also don't have expensive eyewear displays, employees working behind the counter, or retail space rented, which reduces our additional overhead costs. Because operating our e-commerce website is much less costly than operating a retail establishment, Bestpriceglasses.com is able to pass these savings on to you, our online customers. We offer the same top brands, such as no-line bifocal glasses that you would find at the finest optical shops and doctors' offices, but at a fraction of the cost. In many cases, customers can even choose a second pair of eyeglasses and still pay less than they would at a typical retail store for just one pair of glasses. Of course, it's one thing to hear this from us, but we think you might be interested in hearing from some of our customers. Take a look at what some of our customers have revealed about Bestpriceglasses.com. Can I order discount prescription sunglasses too? Sure you can! Any of our frames can be made into prescription sunglasses -- with the same discounts as regular eyewear. In fact, all of our frames can be purchased online as non-prescription or prescription sunglasses. And, if you want to know whether you can order bifocal sunglasses as well - you bet you can! Our exclusive Try-On System allows you to click on any frame page to customize your sunglasses for yourself. This technology is really one-of-a-kind because it's not available in retail stores. This enables our online customers to see all lens color and frame combinations for easy comparison right before their eyes before ordering. Once you're ready to order, our handy Try-On system lets you print the exact sizing on the chosen frame to make for a perfect, customized fit. Take a look at our prescription sunglasses selection here. What kind of lenses can I get in my discount eyeglasses? Our lenses are top quality, thin or ultra-light Polycarbonate lens. We use polycarbonate lenses for a number of reasons. First and foremost, it is the required lens type for all kids glasses because of its safety qualities. In fact, polycarbonate is the type of material used in making bulletproof glass. It's also the preferred lens for people who have a lazy eye, or amblyopia, or who are blind in one eye. This material protects the "good" eye in case of an injury or accident. Secondly, polycarbonate lenses are the most impact-resistant and lightest material made for eyeglasses. They are much thinner than CR39 (standard) optical lenses, due to the 1.59 refraction index. At no extra charge, all lenses come with a scratch-resistant coating (on both sides of the lenses) and a 100% UV coating. As a finishing touch, all lens edges are polished. That said, we also carry a copious supply of other lenses for all of our eyewear frames. Browse through our full prescription lenses list here. Can I get Anti-Reflective Coating for my prescription sunglasses? Absolutely. Anti-reflective coating enables people to see your eyes through their lenses, rather than a light reflection. Anti-reflective coating works by improving the light transmission through the lenses, always giving you sharp, clear vision. Anti-reflective lenses are highly recommended for night driving and computer use. In most establishments, premium anti-reflective coating retails for around $70, but at Bestpriceglasses.com, you can add it to any package for just $24.95. Do you offer a 100% Online Quality Guarantee? As a matter of fact we do. We provide an unconditional guarantee on all our frames and lenses that they will be free of defects, and manufactured and delivered exactly as ordered. Before your order is shipped to you, a certified technician inspects each pair of eyeglasses or prescription sunglasses to ensure correct frame alignment and prescription accuracy. We package your glasses in a durable, attractive hard case so they are well-protected during shipping. See our full selection of prescription glasses here. Buy Cheap Glasses Online at Bestpriceglasses.com Bestpriceglasses.com, the online leader in eyewear, stocks a wide range of affordable prescription glasses and sunglasses in cheap price yet high quality. Our eyeglasses frames feature different fashion styles, vary from modern eyeglasses frames to fashion ones, from rimless ones to full-rimmed ones and so forth.
