Canadian Yellow Split Pea Soup with Ham image

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.

YELLOW SPLIT PEA SOUP WITH HAM

Provided by dicentra

Categories     Ham

Time 1h40m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb dried yellow split peas
1 lb baked ham, diced
8 cups water
2 onions, finely chopped
1 teaspoon marjoram
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1 1/2 cups carrots, chopped
3 celery ribs, chopped
1/4 cup parsley, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • In a large soup pot, combine dry peas, ham and water. Heat to boiling over high heat and skim off any residue that rises to the surface.
  • Add chopped onions, marjoram and thyme. Heat to boiling over high heat.
  • Reduce heat to low. Simmer, covered for 1 hour.
  • Add carrots, celery, parsley, salt and pepper. Cook, covered, over medium-low heat, until peas are tender, about 30 minutes.
  • Discard ham bone if there is one. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of peas. This will give your soup a more complex flavor and texture. You can use yellow split peas, green split peas, or a combination of both.
  • Soak the peas overnight. This will help them to cook more evenly and quickly. If you don't have time to soak the peas overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them in water for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
  • Use a good quality ham. The ham is one of the main ingredients in this soup, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a ham that is smoked and cured, and that has a good amount of fat.
  • Don't overcook the soup. The peas should be cooked until they are tender, but not mushy. Overcooked peas will make the soup thick and gluey.
  • Serve the soup with a side of bread or crackers. This will help to soak up the broth and make the meal more filling.

Conclusion:

Norwegian yellow pea soup with ham is a hearty, flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a comforting and delicious meal, give this soup a try!
