INGREDIENTS
3.5 oz Smoked Ham (diced)
0.33 cup Dry Green Split Peas
1 medium Carrot (diced)
1 celery stalk (diced)
1 small Onion (diced)
1 garlic clove (minced)
2 cups Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
0.5 tsp Olive Oil
1 Bay Leaf
Dash of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Rinse the dry split peas under cold water and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion, carrot, celery, and minced garlic until softened, about 4-5 minutes.
Add the diced smoked ham and sauté for an additional 2 minutes to release its flavor.
Stir in the rinsed split peas, bay leaf, and a dash of black pepper.
Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and add enough water to cover the ingredients by about an inch.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 45-60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peas are soft and the soup has thickened.
Remove the bay leaf, adjust the seasoning if needed, and serve hot.
