Ingredients

  • 1 ham bone
  • 2 cups dried split peas
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 carrots, chopped
  • 3 stalks celery, chopped
  • 2 potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 6 cups water or chicken broth
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Wooden spoon

Method

  1. Sort and rinse the split peas in a colander.
  2. In a Dutch oven or large soup pot, add the ham bone and enough water to cover it. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to low. Simmer for 1 hour, skimming the surface occasionally.
  3. Remove the ham bone and set it aside to cool. Discard any fat or gristle and shred the meat.

  8. Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley or croutons if desired.
