What Are Split Peas?
Split peas are just like they sound, peas that have been dried and split in half. They’re part of the legume family and are often found in both green and yellow varieties. Both can be used to make this easy, comforting split pea soup. We’ll be using green split peas for this recipe. You can find split peas in the dry bean aisle, next to bags of other types of dry beans.
Ingredients for Split Pea Soup
You won’t need much to make this thick and chunky split pea soup recipe. Here’s a quick rundown of the ingredients you’ll need:
- Split Peas – Split peas are the star of the show for this simple soup recipe. We’re using dry, uncooked green split peas.
- Aromatics – Onion, celery, carrots, and garlic provide a wonderful flavor base for the soup.
- Ham Hock – The ham hock provides lots of smoky, salty flavor to the soup. It also gives you a little bit of meat to enjoy with every other bite 🙂
- Bay Leaf – Adds an extra subtle layer of flavor and depth to the soup.
- Chicken Broth – Make sure you use a good quality chicken broth as a lot of the soup flavor will come from the broth. We use Better than Bouillon to make our broth. It’s economical and has great flavor!
- Russet Potato – To make this an even more filling and hearty soup, we added one diced russet potato. It also helps to thicken the soup.
