Hearty Split Pea & Ham Soup image

I have had a bag of split peas in my pantry for months, waiting for it to get cool enough to make this soup. I am the only one in my family who loves pea soup, so I will freeze the leftovers and enjoy it all winter. This soup is so much heartier than the average pea soup...hope you'll give it a try...I just love it... My photos

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

16 oz bag, dried split peas, rinsed
8 c chicken broth or water ( if using water, add 5 - 6 teaspoons chicken bouillion paste
2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 large onions, chopped
2 medium carrots, chopped
2 c cubed cooked corned beef or ham
1 tsp dried marjorum or 1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp poultry seasoning
1/2 tsp dried sage
1 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp salt ( optional ) - i don't add it till the end, salt makes the peas take longer to cook

Steps:

  • 1. In a Dutch oven, combine all ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for about 1 1/2 hours or until peas and vegetables are tender. ( keep checking for tenderness of veggies and peas, may be done sooner...mine took about 1 hour and 20 minutes.) It will thicken, just add some more water till desired consistency.
  • 2. This soup is delicious with a nice crispy slice of corn bread...Yummy!
