Ingredients
- 1 lb of dried split peas
- 8 cups of water, divided into portions
- 4 cups of low-sodium chicken broth
- ½ lb of cooked ham, cut into 1-inch cubes
- ½ red onion, finely minced
- 1 tablespoon of brown sugar
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon of ground black pepper
- Salt for seasoning, as needed
Step 1
In a spacious container, immerse split peas in 6 cups of cool water and let them soak for 8 hours or overnight. Once done, drain and rinse them thoroughly.
Step 2
To start the cooking process, combine chicken broth with 2 cups of water in a large pot placed over high heat. Add in the flavorful ingredients: ham, red onion, split peas, brown sugar, garlic, black pepper, and salt. Allow the broth mixture to reach a boil, then lower the heat to a gentle simmer. Let it cook until the split peas have softened, which usually takes about 2 hours.
Step 3
Pro tip: For a richer flavor, consider adding some fresh herbs like thyme or bay leaves to enhance the taste profile of your split pea soup.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Utilize Mason jars for quick and easy individual portions - perfect for grabbing on-the-go or for meal prep throughout the week.
- 2. Freeze leftovers in silicone muffin molds for convenient single servings that can be easily popped out and reheated.
- 3. Invest in airtight glass containers to keep your soup fresh and prevent any unwanted odors from seeping into your fridge.
