Directions

  1. Place split peas, ham bone, carrots, onion, celery, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper into a large pot, pour in water. Bring mixture to a boil and skim off any foam with a spoon. Reduce heat, place a lid on the pot slightly ajar to allow some evaporation. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until peas are tender and soup is thick, about 3 hours.

  2. Remove ham bone from soup, strip meat from ham bone, chop meat, and return it to the pot.

Recipe Note

Creamy yellow pea soup studded with bits of ham, carrots, celery, and thyme. There is nothing like this one on a cold day! I am a Canadian now living in the US. and cannot get Habitant® soup anymore, so I came up with this version. I think it is as good as the real thing, if not better, because it is homemade.
