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.

YELLOW SPLIT PEA SOUP WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS



Yellow Split Pea Soup With Caramelized Onions image

I cut this out of the Vancouver Sun newspaper years ago. The article said they developed it in their test kitchen. It quickly became a family favourite. The caramelization of the onions and carrots takes some time but other than that, it is a breeze to make and very yummy. The pepper doesn't make any heat that we can detect but it might be spicy for some people. Healthy too!

  • Stir onion mixture into the soup and add salt and pepper to taste. Stir in cilantro if using but I usually don't bother. It's good either way.

GOLDEN YELLOW SPLIT PEA SOUP



Golden Yellow Split Pea Soup image

You may have seen green split pea soup before, but I love the color the yellow split peas give my version. Turmeric also gives it a golden hue and lends an earthy flavor. For added creaminess, I like to dollop a little smoky sour cream on top.

YELLOW SPLIT PEA SOUP

Provided by Food Network

Time 1h35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 onion, sliced
3 stalks celery, diced
2 carrots, peeled and diced
Salt and white pepper
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
8 cups chicken stock (or combination water and stock)
2 cups dried yellow split peas
2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
1 ham hock (optional)
Dark bread croutons, for garnish
Brown mustard

Steps:

  • Melt butter over medium-low heat in a large stockpot or Dutch oven. Cook onion, celery and carrots with salt and pepper until onion is soft, about 7 to 10 minutes. Add the turmeric, stock, peas, potatoes, and ham hock, and simmer, covered, about 1 hour. Remove the ham hock. Puree soup in a blender or food processor until smooth. Return to clean pot, and adjust the seasonings. Serve immediately in flat soup dishes with wide (3-inch) rims, garnished with dark bread croutons. Place brown mustard on the rims of the bowls, and take a little mustard with each spoonful of soup.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables to add flavor and texture to the soup. Good options include carrots, celery, potatoes, and turnips.
  • Do not overcook the split peas. They should be tender but still hold their shape.
  • If the soup is too thick, add some water or broth to thin it out.
  • Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt and a sprinkle of chopped fresh herbs.
  • For a smoky flavor, roast the split peas in the oven before cooking them in the soup.
  • To make the soup vegan, omit the chicken broth and use vegetable broth instead.
  • For a creamy soup, blend a portion of the soup until smooth and then stir it back into the pot.
