Pea Soup – Simple Split Pea with Ham Soup Recipe

When you think of pea soup, you might just think it’s a difficult soup to prepare at home so why bother. But – nothing is further from the truth.  With just a few simple ingredients, you can have a nutritious and delicious bowl of warm pea soup that only takes about 10 minutes of prep work.

The pea soup soup simmers for a couple of hours on the stove, but doesn’t really need much attention other than an occasional stir.

You can find dried “split” peas just about anywhere, but we found a nice organic brand at Trader Joe’s.

You don’t have to use ham in this soup, you can also use Canadian bacon which is a little bit leaner than traditional ham.
