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.

I have a Norwegian born DBIL. He really enjoys food but especially those native to his family history. I am posting recipes which are very similar to those that my sister cooks for him. I am especially choosing to post those dishes which I have personally enjoyed eating in their home. I am also posting these recipes because of ZWT 2010. Preparation time does not include the overnight soak of the yellow peas.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of peas. Yellow peas are the traditional choice, but you can also use green peas, split peas, or a combination of all three. If using dried peas, be sure to soak them overnight before cooking.
  • Add vegetables for extra flavor and nutrition. Carrots, celery, onions, and leeks are all good choices. You can also add other vegetables, such as potatoes, turnips, or parsnips.
  • Use a good quality ham. The ham is the star of the show in this soup, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a ham that is smoked or cured, and that has a good amount of meat on it.
  • Don't overcook the soup. The peas should be tender but still hold their shape. If you overcook them, they will become mushy.
  • Serve the soup with a variety of toppings. Some popular choices include sour cream, croutons, chopped parsley, and grated cheese.
