Ingredients
- 1 pound dried split peas
- 1/4 cup salted butter
- 1 medium white onion diced
- 3 medium celery ribs sliced
- 3 medium carrots sliced
- 4 cups water
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 2 ham hocks
- 2 teaspoons dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper or to taste
Instructions
- Place 1 pound dried split peas in a colander and rinse thoroughly under cold running water. Pick out any debris or discolored peas. Drain well.
- Melt 1/4 cup salted butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add 1 medium white onion (diced), 3 medium celery ribs (sliced), and 3 medium carrots (sliced). Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until onions are soft and translucent.
- Stir in the rinsed split peas, 4 cups water, and 6 cups chicken broth. Bring to a boil. Add 2 ham hocks and 2 teaspoons dried thyme.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 90 minutes, or until peas are tender and ham is easily removed from the bone.
- Remove ham hocks from the pot. Shred the ham, discarding the bones, and chop into bite-sized pieces.
- For a chunky soup, leave as is and stir the shredded ham back into the pot. For a partially pureed soup, use an immersion blender to blend a portion of the soup while leaving some chunks. For a smooth soup, transfer the soup to a blender and puree until smooth, or use an immersion blender directly in the pot.
- Stir the chopped ham back into the soup. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and black pepper if needed. Serve hot.
