Easy Split Pea Soup
Dec 30, 2024 05:47 AM
This split pea soup recipe is absolutely delicious and unbelievably comforting! It’s easy to make with simple ingredients like dried split peas, carrots, celery, onions, and ham. I love the ham in this soup, but you can easily adapt this recipe to be vegetarian.
I love hearty soup recipes, and this split pea soup definitely hits the mark! We use dried split peas as the base, and slowly simmer them with aromatic veggies, broth, and thyme until perfectly tender. Then, we blend the soup until smooth for an extra creamy texture. It’s hearty, flavorful, and unbelievably delicious.
The ham adds a lovely smoky flavor, but if you’d prefer to make this without it, you can (and it will still be delightful).
