The BEST Split Pea Soup with Ham

This easy split pea soup gets it's depth of flavor from sautéed carrots, onion, and celery cooked in a simple broth with smoky ham. Use leftover or deli ham, or try a ham hock or ham bone instead.

Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
  • 1 carrot , chopped
  • 1 rib celery , chopped
  • 1 onion chopped, medium
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 cups ham chopped
  • ½ pound split peas dried
  • 1 tablespoon thyme fresh leaves
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 /2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground

Instructions

  1. In a 3 qt. stockpot, warm the butter or olive oil over medium high heat. Add the carrot, celery and onion and cook for 5 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally.
  2. Add the chicken broth, water, chopped ham, split peas, thyme, kosher salt and black pepper. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and cook for 1 hour or until the peas are tender. If the soup is too thick to your taste, add more chicken broth or water in the last 20 minutes of cooking. For a creamier soup instead of brothy, cook the soup for 90 minutes and lightly mash to cream. Taste for seasoning and serve hot.
