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.

VEGAN SPLIT PEA SOUP I



Vegan Split Pea Soup I image

This makes a very thick vegetarian split pea soup. To make it thinner, reduce the amount of split peas or add more water. Depending on the density of split peas, it may take a while for the vegetables and peas to soften, but you can't really overcook this soup; just stir occasionally, and add water if it gets too dry. Seasonings can be altered to taste. Tastes even better reheated.

Meatless, non-dairy, delicious comfort food. Anyone entering the house and inhaling the aroma while you are preparing this soup will be drooling. This recipe was my mother's which I modified to make it vegetarian. My mother used to use chicken stock. If you promise not to tell her, I think it is a lot better than her's was. I made it for her and she swears it is her recipe. I never let on that it isn't. Everyone who tastes this soup loves it.
