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.

  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for carrots, celery, and onion, but you can also add other vegetables such as potatoes, turnips, or parsnips. You can also add a cup of frozen or fresh corn or peas.
  • Season to taste: The amount of salt and pepper you add to the soup will depend on your personal preference. You can also add other seasonings such as garlic powder, onion powder, or smoked paprika.
  • Serve with a side of bread or crackers: Yellow split pea soup is a hearty and filling soup that can be served as a main course or as a side dish. Serve it with a side of bread or crackers for a complete meal.

Conclusion:

Yellow split pea soup is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious and satisfying soup that the whole family will enjoy.
