Split Pea Soup with Smoked Ham
Slow-simmered split peas and savory smoked ham create a velvety, protein-rich soup infused with aromatic thyme and sweet carrots.
INGREDIENTS
0.25 cup dried split peas
4 oz smoked ham
0.5 cup yellow onion
0.5 cup carrots
0.5 cup celery
2 cups chicken bone broth
0 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic
1 whole bay leaf
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp dried thyme
PREPARATION
Rinse the split peas thoroughly under cold water and drain.
In a large heavy-bottomed pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery, sautéing for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the dried split peas, diced smoked ham, bay leaf, dried thyme, sea salt, and black pepper to the pot.
Pour in the chicken bone broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 45 to 60 minutes, stirring occasionally.
The soup is ready when the peas have broken down and created a thick, creamy consistency.
Remove the bay leaf before ladling the soup into bowls.
