This is an old soup rcipe that I added rosemary to. I love rosemary. The fragrance is so soothing and healing. I think almost anything is better with rosemary.

Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 slice cooked ham, about 1/2 pound, leftover ok
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 large carrots, chopped
2 clove garlic, minced
4 can(s) (10 1/2 ounces each) chicken broth
1 1/2 c green split peas
2 bay leaves
2 tsp chopped fresh rosemary
1 pinch red pepper flakes, optional

Steps:

  • 1. Cut ham into small bite sized pieces. I don't like cubes but prefer a more shredded ham. You can cut or chop ham any way you like.
  • 2. Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven or soup pot. Stir in onion, leek, carrot, and garlic. Cook until the vegetables are soft, about 8 minutes. Add chicken broth. Stir in ham, split peas, bay leaves, and rosemary. If using red pepper flakes add now. Bring just to a boil. Immediately reduce heat to low and cover the pot. Simmer until peas are cooked, about 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
