Description

Homemade split pea soup is hard to beat. This hearty split pea soup is great way to warm up on a cold winter day.

Ingredients

  • 1 pkg dried split peas (16 oz)
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 4 cups water
  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2 large brown onions, chopped
  • 2 medium carrots, chopped
  • 1/2 cup celery, chopped
  • 2 cups cooked ham, cubed
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp rubbed sage
  • 1/2 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp kosher salt (to taste)
  • 1 tsp fresh ground black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

In a Dutch oven or soup pot (at least 4 quarts), combine all ingredients and bring to a full boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until peas and vegetables are tender.

Remove from heat and allow to cool just a bit before serving. Makes about 3 quarts.
