Creamy yellow pea soup studded with bits of ham, carrots, celery, and thyme. There is nothing like this one on a cold day! I am a Canadian now living in the US. and cannot get Habitant® soup anymore, so I came up with this version. I think it is as good as the real thing, if not better, because it is homemade.

Tips:

  • Soak the Split Peas: Soaking the split peas overnight or for at least 4 hours will help them cook more evenly and reduce the cooking time.
  • Use Good Quality Broth: Using a flavorful broth, whether homemade or store-bought, will greatly enhance the taste of the soup.
  • Don't Overcook the Vegetables: Overcooked vegetables can lose their flavor and texture. Add them towards the end of the cooking time to maintain their鮮豔色彩 and鮮脆口感.
  • Season to Taste: Taste the soup throughout the cooking process and adjust the seasoning as needed. Adding herbs and spices like thyme, rosemary, or bay leaves can also enhance the flavor.
  • Serve with Toppings: Serve the Canadian Split Pea Soup with classic toppings like crispy bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, or crusty bread to add extra flavor and texture.
