Smoked Ham Split Pea Soup - 02/01/23 07:08 PM


I put the ham bone from a few weeks ago to work today. Slow cooker split pea and smoked ham soup. Served with a thick hunk of 9 grain bread with butter. Nice ice cold Double IPA to round it off.
Split pea soup is a love it or hate it soup, but I for one, love it!

We love pea soup.
My wife just made some yesterday. We had it last night, and there is enough left for lunch tomorrow.
You are correct - it is a love or hate it soup!
We love it, but two of our three kids are not crazy about it.

That looks great and healthy!

Is there anything in it besides peas, ham, carrots, & onions?

Thanks,

2 cartons low salt chicken broth
1 bag dried split yellow peas
4 carrots peeled and chopped
1 large onion chopped
4 cloves fresh garlic chopped
2 stalks celery chopped
1-2 small/medium potatoes quartered (will thicken the soup)
1 Ham bone with remaining ham attached
Seasoning: 2 Bay leaves, a fair amount of dried Thyme, some onion powder and garlic powder and a good amount of black pepper * Do not add salt- there’s plenty in the ham*
Add everything in the crock pot and cook on low 6-10 hours. Stir occasionally to allow for even cooking
All of the meat will fall off the ham bone so remove the meat and chop it up then add it back to the soup and discard the clean bone and the bay leaves.
Dig in!
The soup will be very thick when it completely cools but it freezes very well and just reheat it in portion sized containers in the microwave.
Enjoy!!!
