Lamb adds meaty flavor and extra protein to this soup recipe from the 60's.
Despite the long cooking time, the soup is quite brothy.
Rinse and sort through peas, drain. Place in a 4-5 quart oven proof
casserole. Add other ingredients, cover and bake in a 300deg F. oven until
meat is tender when pierced (3-4 hours).
Lift meat from soup, cover pan and return to oven to keep warm (OK turn off
oven at this point). Discard bone and any fat, tear meat into bite size
pieces. Return meat to casserole, stir well and season to taste with salt
and pepper.
Makes 6 servings.
P.S. I usually bake a 10# bag of whole potatoes along with this soup,
taking them out as done. Some we eat right away, some fried for breakfast
the next day, and some are split, stuffed and frozen for use later as
'twice baked potatoes.
