When the season change from summer to autumn the days are cooler and the nights can be cold. As a rule, when the weather is cooler I will go to my mother's cookbook and look for her split pea with ham soup recipe.
This is a hearty and wholesome recipe that is packed with protein and nutrients. It is also a one-pot meal that can be served for dinner and a bowl of soup for lunch the next day. Normally I serve warm from the oven dinner rolls or crackers.
It takes two days to prepare this recipe because it is best to soak the split green peas overnight in a pot of water. Then the following day you would gather your ingredients and make the soup.
Ingredients:
Chopped Carrots
Chopped Leeks
Chopped Potatoes
Diced Ham Steak
Split Peas
Chicken stock
Diced clove of garlic
2 sprigs of Fresh Thyme
2 sprigs of Fresh Rosemary
Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
In a soup pot add olive oil and heat to medium-high. Then add your garlic and saute it before adding your leeks, carrots, and potatoes. Stir so that vegetable cook evenly. Cook for five minutes. Add your chicken stock, split peas, ham, herbs, salt and pepper to taste. Stir all ingredients and cook on the stove until soups come to a boil. Stirring while the soup is cooking will prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Turn heat to simmer and cook for an hour. Continue to stir the soup until all vegetable and peas are tender.
