Winter had finally hit! When my husband was asked what he wanted for dinner he replied, “This cold weather calls for some kind of soup.” He jumped all over my suggestion of Pea and Ham soup, minus the ham. Well, I did add ham but I wanted to be able to eat it too so added pan-fried chunks of ham at the serving stage.<\/p>\n

\"Split<\/a>
Split Pea Soup-With the addition of Pan-Fried Ham<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

2 1\/4 cups dried Split Peas (1 lb\/454gm) sorted and rinsed
\n8 cups Water
\n2 McCormick’s Vegetable Stock cubes
\n1 large Onion, diced
\n2 stalks of Celery, finely chopped
\n1\/4 teaspoon freshly ground Black Pepper
\n1 teaspoon Tarragon
\n3\/4 teaspoon Thyme
\n3 carrots, grated<\/p>\n

200 grams thickly sliced Ham, chopped<\/p>\n

In large stock pot saute the onion in a bit of olive oil until soft.
\nStir in chopped celery, tarragon and thyme and continue cooking for a few minutes.
\nAdd split peas, water, pepper, grated carrots and vegetable stock cubes and bring to a boil.
\nCover and simmer for about 3 hours, stirring occasionally.
\nI used an immersion blender to break down some of the split peas. If you don’t have an immersion blender, use a potato masher.
\nAbout 15 minutes before serving, pan fry the chopped ham over med-high heat until heated through and lightly browned.
\nLadle soup into each bowl, add ham, if desired.
\nTop with freshly ground black pepper<\/p>\n

8 servings<\/p>\n
