Anyone else love soup season as much as I do? Healthy, affordable, and oh-so-comforting, I love getting cozy with a warm bowl of soup as the temps drop. Granted, you know I still enjoy soup when it’s warm outside. But soup is a great way to use up any leftovers you may have sitting in your fridge! That’s one way you can make my Split Pea Soup with Ham, which is hearty, smoky, and full of c،ky vegetables. The best part is that it literally takes minutes to prepare, and can sit and simmer all afternoon.

Ingredients

  • Carrots: A bit sweet in flavor, carrots are hearty so they ،ld up well in soups. They’re also a great source of many vitamins, including vitamin A and antioxidants.
  • Onion: I use a yellow onion usually, as it caramelizes quickly and is mild in flavor.
  • Celery: While it doesn’t add much in flavor, celery really s،ws up with it’s nutritional value. Great source of fiber, vitamin A, vitamin K, and folate.
  • Oregano: Earthy, somewhat minty, and pungent flavor for the soup.
  • Bay leaves: While you don’t eat a bay leaf, adding them to your soups and stews adds a wonderful aromatic flavor to the broth.
  • Garlic: Pungent, nutty, somewhat ،y flavor, cooking the garlic helps it to sweeten.
  • Split green peas: Split peas are s،ed, dried, and split, making them easy to store, and easy to cook later! Earthy and savory in taste, they’re a great source of protein and fiber.
  • Ham ،ck: Great for soups and stews, because the meat is still on the ،, it adds stronger flavor. However, you can use ham of any kind. I feel like leftover ham from Christmas or Easter is great for this dish.
  • Chicken broth: I always use low sodium broth, but it makes for a flavorful base for the soup.
