Split Pea Soup image

This is my version of an old classic. You can use either yellow or green split peas for this. I treat all dried beans the same, and many of you don't soak the split peas, but I always do and it softens them. My BF just loves this and I didn't make this for the longest time thinking he wouldn't like it.

Categories     Bean Soups

Time 3h10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pkg dry split peas
1 1/2 c liquid from cooking a ham
2 medium ham hocks,or one meaty ham bone
1 large onion, chopped
2 medium carrots, diced
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
1 tsp dried parsley
2 medium bay leaves

Steps:

  • 1. Cover split peas with twice their amount water, cover and let sit over night or several hours. Some folks don't soak them, and just start to cook them, I am just a creature of habit and have always done my dried beans this way. if you like you certainly can just start to cook them without soaking them.
  • 2. To 4 cups softened beans, add 8 cups of water
  • 3. Add your ham juice. Whenever I cook a ham without a glaze I save the juice, and freeze it for just t his purpose. i put it in a zip lock bag and lay it flat. When it freezes, it sit it upright like a book so it doesn't take up any room in my freezer.
  • 4. Dice your onions, and carrots and add to pot.
  • 5. Add your ham bone or ham hocks and seasonings to the pot and bring to a simmer.
  • 6. Let soup simmer for 3 hours, and if needed for texture, use an immersian blender.

This split-Pea season is a new favorite for my family! Easy to make and so delicious. My husband said it was the best he ever had. I used a ham shank instead of the ham bone for extra smokiness. I also added a bay leaf and some thyme for added depth
