with ham

This Split Pea Soup is made with a delicious ham bone, potatoes, and carrots, in a thick and flavorful broth.

Split Pea Soup

dry split peas (equal to 2 cups)

ham bone (See notes for substitution options)

ham (cut from the ham bone at the end.)

onions (diced)

onion powder (not teaspoons)

butter

olive oil

garlic (minced)

bay leaves

thyme

water (see notes)

carrots (diced)

potatoes

Note: The split peas do not need to be soaked for this recipe.

Add the uncleaned/meaty ham bone to a large soup pot along with the rinsed split peas, onions, onion powder, butter, olive oil, garlic, bay leaves, and thyme.

Add the water and bring it to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, with the lid slightly cracked.

Let the soup simmer for 2.5 hours or until desired thickness is obtained. Stir occassionally as it cooks to lift any settling on the bottom of the pot. (Note that higher altitudes may required 5 or more hours of simmering time.) The longer it simmers, the thicker and more flavorful it will get.

Add the carrots and potatoes about 40 minutes prior to serving.

Once the carrots and potatoes are fork tender, remove the ham bone, bay leaves, and thyme stems. Shred/cut 2 cups of ham from the bone and add it back to the soup. Serve and enjoy!

Stove Top

Rinse the peas. Add all of the ingredients to 6+ quart instant pot. Make sure the pot isn’t more than 2/3 full.

Secure the lid and set it to cook on high (or press the ‘pressure cook’ button) for 25 minutes.

Once finished, let 10-15 minutes pass before you trigger the quick release valve. This will allow most of the pressure to release naturally, allowing the soup to cook a little bit longer.

Remove the ham bone, the bay leaves, and thyme stems. Slice/cut 2 cups of ham from the ham bone and add it back to the soup. Serve!

Instant Pot

Rinse the peas. Add all of the ingredients to a large Slow Cooker (5 quarts or larger). 

Cook on low for 8+ hours or on high for 6+ hours. It&#039;s ready to serve once the peas are tender and the soup has reached your desired level of thickness.

Lentil Soup with Ham

onion

celery (diced)

tomato paste

Lentils

chicken broth

beef broth

Heat the butter and the olive oil in a soup pot over medium heat. Add the vegetables and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.

Add broth, lentils, and thyme and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, covered, for about 45 minutes. Serve!

Lentil Soup with no Ham Bone

Note: Use an uncleaned ham bone. When you remove the bone from the soup at the end of cooking, use two forks to shred the meat from it and add it to the soup.

Use 3 cups chicken broth, 1 cup beef broth, and 3 cups water.

Add everything to the pot except for the lentils. No need to soften the vegetables first. They float to the surface of the soup and cook/soften in the fat from the ham bone

Bring to a rapid boil, then decrease to a simmer.

Simmer for as long as you can, at least 2-3 hours. The longer, the more flavorful your soup will be.

Add the lentils during the last 45 minutes of cooking and simmer gently.

Remove the ham bone, add in the ham, and serve.
