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.

1 pound dried split peas
1 ham hock
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup finely chopped yellow onions
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
1/2 cup finely chopped carrots
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 pound Smithfield ham, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

2 pounds red bliss potatoes, scrubbed well and patted dry, skins left on
4 cups vegetable oil, for frying
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon truffle oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place the peas in a large pot or bowl, cover with water by 2 inches and soak 8 hours or overnight. Drain the peas and set aside.
  • Score the ham hock. Place in a pot, cover with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer for 1 hour. Drain and set aside.
  • In a large pot, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the celery and carrots and cook, stirring, until just soft, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds.
  • Add the ham hock and ham and cook, stirring, until beginning to brown. Add the drained peas, salt, pepper, and pepper flakes, and cook, stirring for 2 minutes. Add 8 cups of water, the bay leaf and thyme, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the peas are tender, about 1 hour. (Add more water as needed, if the soup becomes too thick or dry.)
  • Remove the bay leaf and discard. Adjust the seasoning, to taste, and serve immediately with Parmesan Truffled Chips on top.
  • Using a mandolin or very sharp, heavy knife, slice the potatoes into rounds as thin as possible, and place in a large bowl of water to prevent discoloration.
  • Heat the oil in a large, heavy pot to between 340 and 350 degrees F.
  • Pat the potatoes completely dry. Add to the oil in batches and cook until golden brown, stirring with a long handled spoon to turn and cook evenly, about 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels and place in a large bowl. Toss with the cheese, truffle oil, salt, and pepper. Serve immediately.

SPLIT PEA WITH HAM SOUP



Split Pea With Ham Soup image

A classic recipe, but I've tweaked a little to make it healthy and paleo-friendly. Perfect use for a leftover ham bone (leave plenty of meat on it!), but you can also just used diced ham. This recipe takes an hour to cook, but comes together very quickly so it can work for a weeknight meal.

Provided by profken

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 cups, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (12 ounce) bag split peas
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
2 large carrots, diced (or 3 medium)
1 (32 ounce) carton chicken stock, plus 2 cups water
1 ham bone, with plenty of meat left on it (or 2 cups diced ham)
2 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Put the peas into a strainer and rinse until the water coming out of the bottom is clear. Pick over to ensure that there are no twigs or small rocks in there.
  • Heat olive oil in a stock pot or dutch oven. Saute the onion and celery until soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the stock and water to the pot and bring to a boil. It's OK if the ratio isn't precise since cartons of stock seem to come in different sizes these days. Just make sure you have 6 cups of liquid in total.
  • Add ham bone, bay leaves, rosemary, and thyme. Partially cover and simmer for 1/2 hour.
  • Add carrots and diced ham (if you are using it). Partially cover and simmer for another 1/2 hour, or until peas are soft.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
