Quebec-Style Yellow Split Pea Soup image

Delicious and hearty split pea soup, starting with dried peas and simmered low and slow with vegetables, a ham hock and spices.

Provided by Jennifer

Categories     Dinner     Lunch     Soup

Time 2h15m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb unsmoked ham hock
2 Tbsp butter (or cooking oil)
2 medium carrots (peeled and finely diced)
1 rib celery (finely diced)
1 medium onion (finely diced)
1 3/4 cups dried yellow split peas (rinsed well and sorted through)
1 bay leaf
1 tsp dried savory
1 tsp dried thyme
4 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
3 cups water
Salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Trim off and discard skin from ham hocks.
  • In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat. Add carrots, celery and onion. Cook, stirring regularly, until softened, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in dried split peas, bay leaf ,savory and thyme. Cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes.
  • Stir in chicken broth and water. Add the ham hock. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover the pot and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the peas are very soft and soup is thickened, about 1 1/2 - 2 hours. *NOTE: You may need to add additional water or stock if soup gets too thick.
  • PICK OUT AND DISCARD BAY LEAF and remove the ham hock to a plate. *Note: I prefer a thicker soup, so I blend just a bit of the soup with an immersion blender or blender. Just do a quick blend (or blend just a cup of the soup. You don't want a completely pureed soup. You want it to retain most of it's texture, but the bit of pureed soup will incorporate with the broth for a thicker soup.)
  • Let ham hock cool slightly, then remove any meat on the hock and add it back to soup. Discard the fat and bone from the hock.
  • Stir to combine meat with soup. Taste and generously season with salt and pepper, to taste.

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.

SLOW COOKER SPLIT PEA AND HAM SOUP



Slow Cooker Split Pea and Ham Soup image

Easy and delicious! Very thick and hearty! Freezes well! (I always make a double batch and freeze 2/3.) Update: If you overcook, the soup will get even thicker than usual! and turn a little bit of an olive drab color--it will still taste good though!

Provided by Dwynnie

Categories     Ham

Time 8h30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (16 ounce) package dried split peas, rinsed
1 ham bone (meaty) or 2 ham hocks
1 cup carrot, diced
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1 cup celery, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 bay leaf
2 teaspoons parsley flakes
1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram, crushed
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
1 tablespoon salt (to taste-definitely reduce if not using water)
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 quarts hot water

Steps:

  • Layer ingredients in slow cooker in the order listed.
  • Pour in water. Do not stir!
  • Cover and cook on low 8 to 10 hours or until peas are very soft and ham falls off bone.
  • Remove bones and bay leaf.
  • Serve!

Tips:

  • Soak the split peas: Soaking the split peas overnight or for at least 4 hours will help them cook more evenly and quickly. If you don't have time to soak them, you can still cook them, but they may take a little longer.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for carrots, celery, and onion, but you can also add other vegetables that you like, such as potatoes, parsnips, or turnips. You can also add a handful of frozen peas or corn near the end of the cooking time.
  • Don't overcook the split peas: Split peas can become mushy if they are overcooked. Cook them until they are just tender, but still hold their shape.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a bay leaf or a few sprigs of thyme for extra flavor.
  • Serve the soup with a side of bread or crackers: This soup is delicious served with a side of crusty bread or crackers. You can also top it with shredded cheese or crumbled bacon.

Conclusion:

This yellow split pea and ham soup is a hearty, flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a very affordable and easy to make. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
