Good evening folks! It’s another Saturday night and for any and all of you foodies this is our place to chat about what we are cooking, eating, or drooling over;)

I finally got the ham bone from New Year’s Day out of the freezer and made a simple split-pea soup. I am not a fan of peas and didn’t like split-pea soup until I had one made with yellow split-peas and loved it! I guess I am just not a fan of that pea flavor so the milder flavor of the yellow ones is much more agreeable to my palate. For this batch of soup I just followed a recipe I found that looked good and swapped the green for yellow split-peas.

Split Pea Soup (with ham) from Two Peas and Their Pod ingredients: 1 tablespoon olive oil

1 yellow onion, chopped

chopped 2 celery ribs, chopped

chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced

minced 2 bay leaves

1 teaspoon dried thyme

¼ teaspoon dried rosemary

8 cups chicken broth or stock

16 ounces dried green split peas, picked over and rinsed

picked over and rinsed 2 ham hocks (can use leftover ham bone from cooked ham)

(can use leftover ham bone from cooked ham) Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste

to taste 2 small carrots, chopped

chopped 2 cups chopped cooked ham, optional

optional Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish, optional directions: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and celery and cook until tender, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Add the bay leaves, thyme, rosemary, vegetable broth, peas, and ham hocks. Stir and season with salt and pepper. Cover the pot with a lid and let the soup simmer for 60 minutes, or until the peas are tender. Remove the ham hocks and stir in the carrots and cooked ham, if using. Cook for an additional 20 minutes or until the soup thickens and carrots are soft. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.

Here is our upcoming schedule:
