I am craving split pea soup.

Never learned to make it. I found out it was my Mom's favorite when I grew up. She never made it because us kids would not eat it. I would agree that the ham bone or some sort of ham would be needed. Bet you can find a great recipe on line using dried peas!!

And I, myself, prefer my peas without the ham; 😁😉
they're yummy enough for me, with carrots and potato and herbs....☺️🥰😋
Some turnip or rutabaga in there, in addition, would be nice too, if anyone is making one pot with and one pot without, the ham,
in order to serve and accommodate all of us here at SF!😁😊
 
I always start with the usual soup veg's... sauteed onion, carrot and celery.

Then I add fresh garlic, not the jarred stuff. The proportions of liquid to peas on the back of the dried peas bag.

Rinse the peas first. Add to pot with water and salt, or with ham broth and a ham bone if desired. simmer till peas are soft.

I also add carrots and a cut up potato to my pea soup with this recipe. Potato helps thicken the soup. Delicious.

Not a soup person. However, I always loved Habitant Pea Soup. Off limits for vegans because it contains lard (I'm not a vegan). I was never able to make anything half as delicious on my own. Unfortunately, I can no longer eat pea soup 😭.

I hope you find a wonderful recipe!

When I was a child Habitant pea soup was sold in the US, or at least in CT where I live. My mother loved it! She would make her own sometimes, but I would never touch it then.

I only eat split pea soup that I make from scratch. Not that often anymore, as it has been ages since I've had a Virginia baked ham with the bone in. It's my mom's recipe and she was a fabulous cook.

Get you a smoked ham hock or smoked turkey leg for around $5 and avoid eating all that ham. Can you post up your mom's recipe, pls? My mother's recipe was about the same the PP posted above, but water instead of chicken stock.
