Split Pea Soup

Every once in awhile my Mom would make Split Pea Soup for us while I was growing up.  While the color and texture might be off-putting to some, I got around that because I loved the flavor.  Nothing fills me up on a cold day quite like soup.

How to make Split Pea Soup

It came seem a little bit intimidating to work with a ham bone.  But this soup is the perfect recipe to start with.  You’re basically just throwing a bunch of stuff into a stock pot and letting it simmer for hours.  This recipe is awesome for a day that you have lots to do at home because you don’t have to babysit it.  Here’s what you need:

  • ham bone
  • green split peas, dried
  • bay leaf
  • salt
  • onion
  • small potato
  • carrots
  • red wine vinegar
  • dry mustard
  • thyme
  • chicken bouillon cubes
  • stock pot with lid
  • wooden spoon

This recipe calls for it to simmer for 3-4 hours.  It takes very little effort but you’ll need to plan ahead a little so that you have enough to let it soak in all of those flavors.
