Let's Get Started

  1. Rinse the split peas and set aside.
  2. In a large pot, add the ham bone, onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Saute for a few minutes until the vegetables are softened.
  3. Add the split peas, diced ham, chicken broth, bay leaf, salt, and pepper to the pot.
  4. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 2 hours, or until the peas are soft and the soup is thickened.
  5. Remove the ham bone and bay leaf from the soup.
  6. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until it's smooth, or leave it chunky if you prefer.
  7. Adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed, then serve the soup hot.
