10 Steps to Canning Split Pea Soup

Step 1, Check and Wash Peas

You should always check the split peas before cooking. Bernice pours a little into her hands to check for rocks or any foreign items. Even with the most modern processing procedure, high standards of quality control and the most modern equipment use to clan, process and package it can still be possible for foreign matter to slip through. After checking, wash and clean peas. Some foreign material will often float to the top. We found 1 pebble and several foreign husks in four packages of peas.
