Quebec-Style Yellow Split Pea Soup image

Delicious and hearty split pea soup, starting with dried peas and simmered low and slow with vegetables, a ham hock and spices.

Provided by Jennifer

Categories     Dinner     Lunch     Soup

Time 2h15m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb unsmoked ham hock
2 Tbsp butter (or cooking oil)
2 medium carrots (peeled and finely diced)
1 rib celery (finely diced)
1 medium onion (finely diced)
1 3/4 cups dried yellow split peas (rinsed well and sorted through)
1 bay leaf
1 tsp dried savory
1 tsp dried thyme
4 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
3 cups water
Salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Trim off and discard skin from ham hocks.
  • In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat. Add carrots, celery and onion. Cook, stirring regularly, until softened, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in dried split peas, bay leaf ,savory and thyme. Cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes.
  • Stir in chicken broth and water. Add the ham hock. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover the pot and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the peas are very soft and soup is thickened, about 1 1/2 - 2 hours. *NOTE: You may need to add additional water or stock if soup gets too thick.
  • PICK OUT AND DISCARD BAY LEAF and remove the ham hock to a plate. *Note: I prefer a thicker soup, so I blend just a bit of the soup with an immersion blender or blender. Just do a quick blend (or blend just a cup of the soup. You don't want a completely pureed soup. You want it to retain most of it's texture, but the bit of pureed soup will incorporate with the broth for a thicker soup.)
  • Let ham hock cool slightly, then remove any meat on the hock and add it back to soup. Discard the fat and bone from the hock.
  • Stir to combine meat with soup. Taste and generously season with salt and pepper, to taste.

SLOW COOKER SPLIT PEA SOUP WITH BACON AND HASH BROWNS



Slow Cooker Split Pea Soup with Bacon and Hash Browns image

I use bacon instead of ham and frozen hash brown potatoes in this pea soup. It's a good winter comfort food and smells wonderful while cooking. It freezes well, so when my husband and I are busy all day, its a quick dinner for us. I add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to spice it up a bit. You can also cook whole bacon strips in the microwave until lightly browned. Transfer to paper towels and let cool; crush or tear into small pieces.

HEARTY SPLIT PEA SOUP WITH BACON



Hearty Split Pea Soup With Bacon image

This is a thick, mellow split pea soup with a whisper of meaty smoke and the brambly fragrance of thyme. The recipe is easy and copious, and the soup freezes well. Look for split peas that have a use-by date on the package and are relatively fresh; they will cook faster and better.

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     dinner, soups and stews, appetizer

Time 2h

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound slab bacon in 1/4-inch-thick slices
1 large onion, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 head garlic, cloves peeled and sliced thin
Salt and black pepper
1 pound dried green split peas, rinsed and picked over
4 bay leaves
2 to 3 quarts chicken stock
1/2 bunch fresh thyme leaves, stripped from stems

Steps:

  • Dice bacon into 1/4-inch cubes. Place in a heavy 6-quart pot over medium-low heat. Cook until fat is rendered and translucent. Add onion, carrot, celery and garlic. Cook until onion and garlic are soft and translucent. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add split peas, stir to coat with fat, and add bay leaves and 2 quarts stock. Increase heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat so soup simmers. Skim foam that rises to the surface for about 10 minutes, until no more appears. Add thyme leaves. Simmer uncovered about 1 hour or longer, until peas are soft and starting to fall apart. Add more stock, as needed.
  • Remove soup from heat. Add salt and pepper to taste. Purée soup in a food processor in several batches, short of perfect smoothness; you should be able to spoon up some texture. Reheat soup, skimming off any foam. Stir from the bottom to mix well, then ladle into bowls and serve.
