SPLIT PEA SOUP WITH CRISPY KIELBASA



Split Pea Soup with Crispy Kielbasa image

One of my all-time favorite comfort foods is a bowl of split pea soup, dating back to the days when my mother served us canned pea soup with cut-up hot dogs (very '50s!). Now I prefer a big pot of homemade soup to serve with sautéed kielbasa on top. I love the way the earthy, creamy soup contrasts with the crispy, spicy sausage.

Provided by Ina Garten

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Good olive oil
2 cups chopped leeks, white and light green parts, spun-dried (2 leeks)
1 1/2 cups chopped yellow onion (1 large)
2 cups (1/2-inch) diced, scrubbed carrots (3 large)
1 tablespoon minced garlic (3 cloves)
1 pound dry green split peas
8 cups good chicken stock, preferably homemade
1 smoked ham hock
8 fresh thyme sprigs, tied with kitchen twine
2 large fresh bay leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 ounces smoked kielbasa, halved lengthwise and sliced diagonally in 1/4-inch-thick pieces
Minced fresh parsley, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large (11 to 12-inch) pot or Dutch oven, such as Le Creuset, over medium-high heat. Add the leeks, onion, and carrots and cook for 7 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and starting to brown. Stir in the garlic and cook for one minute. Stir in the peas to coat with oil and cook for one minute. Add 8 cups of the chicken stock, 2 cups water, the ham hock, thyme bundle, bay leaves, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer, partially covered, for 1 1/4 hours, stirring occasionally, until the peas are very tender and falling apart. After 45 minutes, stir more frequently, scraping the bottom of the pot to be sure the soup doesn't burn.
  • Discard the thyme bundle, bay leaves, and ham hock. Transfer 2 cups of the soup to the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and purée. Return the purée to the pot, adding more chicken stock or water if the soup is too thick.
  • To serve, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium (10 to 11-inch) sauté pan over medium heat. Add the kielbasa and sauté for 5 to 6 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the kielbasa is browned. Serve the soup hot with the kielbasa and parsley sprinkled on top.
  • Make ahead: Reheat the soup over low heat, adding chicken stock or water to thin.

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 stalks celery, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
2 parsnips, peeled and chopped
1 large onion, chopped (about 2 cups)
Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper
Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper
2 sprigs fresh oregano
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
2 ounces bourbon
1 pound split peas, picked through for pebbles then rinsed with cold water
One 8-ounce piece smoked ham
8 cups chicken broth
1/2 baguette, sliced and toasted

Steps:

  • In a large sauce pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the celery, garlic, parsnip and onion, and saute for 15 minutes to build flavor, seasoning with salt and pepper as you go. Add the oregano, thyme and bay leaf, and cook on low for 3 more minutes. Turn the burner off and add the bourbon, return to the heat and reduce for 3 minutes. Add the split peas, ham and stock. Remember to season lightly as you cook. Cook until the peas are tender and the soup has reduced to the desired consistency, about 1 hour. Pull the ham piece and herbs from the pot and, using an immersion blender, blend the soup until mostly smooth. Cut the ham into 1/2-inch pieces and add back to the pot. Serve with the toasted baguette.
