CANADIAN YELLOW SPLIT PEA SOUP WITH HAM



Canadian Yellow Split Pea Soup with Ham image

Creamy yellow pea soup studded with bits of ham, carrots, celery, and thyme. There is nothing like this one on a cold day! I am a Canadian now living in the US. and cannot get Habitant® soup anymore, so I came up with this version. I think it is as good as the real thing, if not better, because it is homemade.

GOLDEN SPLIT PEA SOUP



Golden Split Pea Soup image

This is from my Low-Fat Moosewood cookbook. Your house will smell like an Indian restaurant! The soup is a beautiful dark gold color. Don't use green or brown lentils, it just won't be the same. This makes a lot, but you can freeze it. Even my one year old loves this! Serve topped with plain yogurt and chopped cilantro. Pass pita bread.

A wonderful, simple soup, which can easily be made vegetarian by substituting vegetable broth for the chicken broth. I like to garnish with a dollop of creme fraiche and a sprinkle of chopped chives or parsley. Beer is an excellent accompaniment to this soup.

GOLDEN YELLOW SPLIT PEA SOUP



Golden Yellow Split Pea Soup image

You may have seen green split pea soup before, but I love the color the yellow split peas give my version. Turmeric also gives it a golden hue and lends an earthy flavor. For added creaminess, I like to dollop a little smoky sour cream on top.
