GOLDEN YELLOW SPLIT PEA SOUP



Golden Yellow Split Pea Soup image

You may have seen green split pea soup before, but I love the color the yellow split peas give my version. Turmeric also gives it a golden hue and lends an earthy flavor. For added creaminess, I like to dollop a little smoky sour cream on top.

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



Yellow Split Pea Soup image

This is a wonderful recipe for yellow pea soup. You can use about 1/2 pound salt pork, rinsed if covered with salt in place of the smoked ham bone. Just a tip, don't throw away the bone from your cooked ham, wrap tightly in foil and freeze, it is wonderful to use in pea soups, make certain to leave some meat on the bone to shred into the soup. If you have any dried savory, then add in about 1/2 teaspoon to the soup along with the chives. I sometimes add in a couple of potatoes that are cut into small cubes into the soup the last hour of cooking, but that is optional. This soup will take around 2-3 hours to cook.

Tips:

  • Soak the split peas: Soaking the split peas overnight or for at least 4 hours will help them cook more evenly and quickly. Be sure to rinse them well before cooking.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for carrots, celery, and onion, but you can also add other vegetables like potatoes, turnips, or parsnips. Feel free to experiment and use what you have on hand.
  • Season the soup well: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all essential seasonings for this soup. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or bay leaves.
  • Don't overcook the soup: The split peas should be tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked split peas will become mushy and the soup will be less flavorful.
  • Serve the soup with a variety of toppings: Croutons, grated cheese, chopped bacon, or a dollop of sour cream are all great toppings for yellow split pea soup. You can also serve it with a side of bread or crackers.
