Hearty Split Pea Soup with Ham
Slow-simmered split peas and savory diced ham meld into a thick, comforting soup enriched with aromatic herbs and tender garden vegetables.
INGREDIENTS
0.5 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.5 cup yellow onion
0.5 cup carrots
0.5 cup celery
2 clove garlic
5 oz lean diced ham
0.25 cup dried green split peas
2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
0.25 tsp dried thyme
1 whole bay leaf
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery, sautéing until the vegetables are softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic, thyme, sea salt, and black pepper, cooking for one minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and add the split peas, diced ham, and the bay leaf.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then immediately reduce the heat to low and cover the pot.
Simmer for 50 to 60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peas have broken down and the soup has reached a thick consistency.
Remove the bay leaf and serve the soup hot.
