Keep this on hand when you go out jogging or exorcising. Makes a great rib-sticking soup. I sometimes vary the meat ingredients- in the pic posted, I used little smokies and a ham hock, same amounts.

Time 1h50m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (1 lb) package split peas
2 quarts water
1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon leaf thyme, crumbled
2 whole cloves
1 large onion
2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced (3 cups)
1/2 lb cooked ham or 1/2 lb ham hock, diced (whichever)
1/2 lb smoked sausage or 1/2 lb Little Smokies sausage, sliced
2 large leeks, well washed and sliced
2 large celery ribs, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Wash and sort peas.
  • Combine peas, water, salt, pepper, bay leaf and thyme in a large pot or Dutch oven.
  • Press cloves into onion, and add to pot (if using a ham hock you may wish to add it now so it becomes more tender- but NOT the smoked sausage, as they split if overcooked).
  • Bring mixture to a boil, then lower heat, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until peas are tender, about 1 hour.
  • Remove the onion and bay leaf.
  • Puree soup through a coarse sieve or in batches in the blender (be careful not to burn yourself!); return mixture to the pot.
  • (I like to leave a little bit not pureed for texture).
  • Add potatoes, ham, sausage.
  • leek and celery.
  • Simmer uncovered about 25-35 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
  • Taste for seasoning and garnish soup with chopped parsley before serving.

I've made this soup a few times now and it's always a hit with my family. The soup is thick and creamy, with just the right amount of smokiness from the ham. I like to serve it with a side of crusty bread for dipping.
