Yellow Split Pea Soup with Ham
Ingredients
  • 1 ham bone with some meat
  • 2 1/2 cups yellow split peas
  • 5 stalks celery, diced
  • 4 carrots, diced
  • 1/2 large Spanish onion, diced
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper, or to taste
  • 8 cups water, or as needed
Instructions
1
Combine a large pot with ham bone, split peas, celery, carrots, onion, salt, thyme, bay leaf, and pepper; then add water.
2
Heat the mixture until it reaches a rolling boil, carefully removing any scum that rises to the surface with a spoon.
3
Decrease the heat and position a lid on top of the pot, slightly askew to permit some moisture release.
4
Stir occasionally as the mixture simmers until the peas become tender and the soup thickens, approximately 3 hours.
5
Carefully lift the ham bone out of the pot; extract the meat from the ham bone, chop it into smaller pieces, and return them to the pot.
