- 2 ½ cups yellow split peas
Vegetables
- 5 stalks celery, diced
- 🥕 4 carrots, diced
- ½ large Spanish onion, diced

STEPS

Gather the ingredients.

Place ham bone, yellow split peas, celery, carrots, onion, salt, thyme, bay leaf, and pepper into a large pot; pour in water. Bring mixture to a boil and skim off any foam with a spoon.

Reduce heat and place a lid on the pot, slightly ajar to allow some evaporation. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until yellow split peas are tender and soup is thick, about 3 hours.

Remove ham bone from soup; remove meat from ham bone, chop or shred, and return to the pot.

💡 For added flavor, you can use chicken stock instead of water.This soup freezes well; store in individual portions for easy reheat meals.Adjust the consistency of the soup with additional water or stock if it becomes too thick.To make it vegetarian, omit the ham bone and use vegetable broth; substitute smoked paprika for a smoky flavor.
