GOLDEN YELLOW SPLIT PEA SOUP
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
This is a wonderful recipe for yellow pea soup. You can use about 1/2 pound salt pork, rinsed if covered with salt in place of the smoked ham bone. Just a tip, don't throw away the bone from your cooked ham, wrap tightly in foil and freeze, it is wonderful to use in pea soups, make certain to leave some meat on the bone to shred into the soup. If you have any dried savory, then add in about 1/2 teaspoon to the soup along with the chives. I sometimes add in a couple of potatoes that are cut into small cubes into the soup the last hour of cooking, but that is optional. This soup will take around 2-3 hours to cook.

CANADIAN YELLOW SPLIT PEA SOUP WITH HAM
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.
