Hearty Split Pea Soup with Ham
Slow-simmered green split peas and lean diced ham meld into a velvety, thick soup seasoned with aromatic thyme and savory vegetables.
INGREDIENTS
0.25 cup Green split peas
4 oz Lean diced ham
0.5 cup Diced yellow onion
0.5 cup Diced carrots
0.5 cup Diced celery
2 cloves Minced garlic
3 cups Low-sodium chicken broth
1 tsp Dried thyme
1 whole Bay leaf
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.5 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
PREPARATION
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery to the pot and sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the dry green split peas, diced ham, dried thyme, bay leaf, sea salt, and black pepper.
Pour in the chicken broth and stir to combine all ingredients.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then immediately reduce the heat to low.
Cover the pot with a lid and simmer for 50 to 60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peas have broken down and the soup is thick.
Remove the bay leaf before ladling the soup into bowls and serving warm.
