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.

👨‍🍳 Instructions

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.

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