This comforting classic thickens considerably as it stands, resulting in a generous quantity of soup. Each time you reheat it, thin it with additional water and adjust the seasonings. Or, once your original batch cools, consider freezing half of it for later use. This soup is a meal in itself. All you need is a good bread and a salad - simple or bountiful, as you prefer.

1. Combine the first 5 ingredients in a large soup pot with 8 cups water. Bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer gently for an hour.

2. Stir in 2 cups water, and simmer until the peas are completely mushy, about 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and serve, or cover and let stand off the heat for an hour or so before serving. Thin with water and correct seasonings as needed.
