Time 1h50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons butter
½ onion, diced
2 ribs celery, diced
3 cloves garlic, sliced
1 pound ham, diced
1 bay leaf
1 pound dried split peas
1 quart chicken stock
2 ½ cups water
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place the butter in a large soup pot over medium-low heat. Stir in onion, celery, and sliced garlic. Cook slowly until the onions are translucent but not brown, 5 to 8 minutes.

I added some chopped carrots and celery to my soup and it was even better. I also used a smoked ham hock instead of regular ham and it gave the soup a really nice smoky flavor.
