Split Pea and Ham Soup Recipe • Hearty & Flavorful! | Club Foody

 Both January and February can be quite harsh and frigid. It’s snowy, it’s cold, wet and gray… nothing fun about it unless you really enjoy that kind of weather. We all want something hot to keep us warm and often a nice bowl of soup is the right meal to have.

 
As I really like them, I’ve posted many soup recipes like Broccoli Cheddar, Udon Noodle, Minestrone, Carrot, Wonton, Celery, Chicken Tortilla and now this featured one… my Split Pea & Ham Soup! Wow! What a soup! The creaminess from the peas and the smokiness from the ham give such amazing flavor.
 
I always use green split peas for my soup instead of yellow and when it comes to the ham, I prefer the shank cut over the hock because there’s more meat on it. Either one can be used as they’re both great for this kind of recipe.
 
I use a bouquet garni for my soup. It’s a mix of fresh basil and thyme leaves along with a bay leaf. I add it to it after I pour in the broths. If you’re going to use dried basil and thyme instead, add them at the same time with the garlic. For the bay leaf, add it after the broths are in.
 
A quick note about the thickness of the Split Pea & Ham Soup… Every stove top and oven temperature can differ from one to another so in case your soup gets too thick, just pour in a little broth of your choice, chicken or vegetable. Keep in mind though that this is the kind of soup that should be thick… well to a certain degree, lol!
 
This Split Pea & Ham Soup is such a satisfying and hearty recipe! Perfectly seasoned, this flavorful soup is great to have during the cold winter months and it will definitely warm you up! Serve it with Crusty Bread and it can be a meal on its own.
Bon Appétit!
