Split Pea Soup Recipe?

denisemb — Thu, 31 Oct 2019 04:32:21 GMT

Have some leftover ham....and some basic unexciting recipes. Anyone have a killer recipe?

Extra points if it's pressure cooker or slow cooker.

Thanks!

Happy eating!

I really don't have a soup recipe. I cook them in chicken stock instead of water, with onion, celery, carrot and potatoes, and add herbs like dill

Slow S-L-O-W cooking gets every bit of meat off the bones. That, combined with @cherry 's suggestions, is a sure path to split pea success.

INVITE ME, then freeze the leftovers.

I use the recipe on the bag of dry split peas. I usually buy Goya brand. I add more veggies (carrots, celery), put it in the crock pot. Delicious!

Towards the end I add 1 tsp. Montreal steak seasoning. That's all. I don't like it too salty.

@denisemb My sister used to be SO in love with split pea soup when we were children. Thank you for reminding me. I hadn't thought of that in years and years.

I make a smaller amount in my 4-quart slow cooker. It is important to NOT stir the soup until it is completely cooked:

1 cup dry split peas

2 cups chopped ham

3/4 cup chopped carrots

3/4 cup chopped onion

3/4 cup chopped celery

5 cups chicken broth

1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

1 bay leaf

Whisk broth, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in bowl.

Layer peas, ham, carrots, onion, and celery in slow cooker (don't stir).

Pour in broth and drop in bay leaf (don't stir).

Cover and cook on high for 4 hours.

Remove bay leaf and stir.

I make mine in my Instant Pot, similar to the recipes already posted. Instead of ham I usually add some sliced jalapeno sausage. I add red pepper flakes also.

My mom would always add those small link sausages to her pea soup, but it always

grossed me out. Looked like.......well, I better not say.

I make Split Pea soup once a week. LOVE, LOVE LOVE IT !

I don't measure anything but throw it all into a slow cooker.

1-2 ham steaks (Hatfield).........about 1/2 package of frozen diced onions

1 package of dried peas (order them from Walmart 6 at a time there own brand )

Good amount of garlic....... 1-2 stalks of diced celery.......Pepper....A couple of Bay Leaves

About 6 cups of Better than Boullion fill to top of slow cooker.

And about 1/4 of julienned carrots from package.

Turn it up to high and within 4-5 hours SOUP

Sometimes I use deli ham ( about 1/2 lb ) and whether that or Hatfield give it a rough chop so it disperse through the soup and it can get eaten rather than big chunks.

@denisemb I am not the best cook by a mile but when you go to cook your soup a bay leaf or two would really enrich the flavor of your soup. It's one of those huh, that really makes a differnce ingredients.

For something different add some curry powder, cumin and coriander for chili flavor. For a middle eastern blend like Dukkah or Za'atar! You could sprinkle either on top of the soup on top and see if you like it.

Ina Garten often adds some vinegar (a tablespoon or two) or lemon juice to things to brighten them up. Maybe put some good tangy yogurt on top when you serve the soup?

I'm making Ina Gartens' Parker's Split Pea Soup next week; no ham in it. It isn't a smooth soup either (both are what I grew up with:ham and smooth soup). I'll let you know my verdict.

LilLadyNJ — Sun, 03 Nov 2019 21:41:00 GMT

do you use green or yellow split peas?

I do a blend of both.

@denisemb Alessi has an excellent split pea soup. It comes in a bag and it is soooooooooo good. You could add your ham to it.
