2 c. split green peas
3 qts. cold water
1 pig's trotter
1 pig's ear
1 c. bacon squares
4 frankfurters
1 lb. potatoes (sliced)
1 celeriac (diced)
4 tbsp. salt
1 bunch celery greens
2 leeks
2 onions

Wash peas and soak for 12 hours (unless you have quick soaking peas). Then boil gently for at least 2 hours in the water they were soaked in. In this liquid cook the trotter, ear and bacon for one hour. Add sliced potatoes, salt, diced celeriac, cut up leeks and celery leaves and cook until the soup is smooth and thick. Add the frankfurters and cook 10 minutes longer. The usual cooking time is 3 hours.
