Split Pea Soup with Ham

I did end up blending it with an immersion blender to give it a more traditional split pea soup texture. Tasted great with my left over ham and bone from Christmas! After making it I also transferred to the crockpot to left the flavors marinate a bit longer.

The flavor was great, but the split peas weren't cooked enough, and I cooked it for an additional 30 mins and soaked them. Not sure what I did wrong. Will definitely try again.

Added more garlic, used 1 cup and some onion powder instead of 2 cups chopped onion, 1/4 tsp oregano. Simmered for 1.5 hours.

It’s good. Double this next time. I used a hamhock and half pack bacon. Prob could get away with one ham hock and double the rest.

Use 1c less liquid or + potatoe

Make sure to cook the soup until the peas are completely soft. Also, don't add any salt until the end so it doesn't become too salty. Once, I accidentally used lentils and it turned out pretty good. If cooking in a crock pot cook on low for 4 hours and then check it. Cooking it too long will disintegrate the peas. Also start out with less liquid as it doesn't evaporate as quickly. 8/10

Made many times and always delicious

Best split pea soup I've ever had and it's healthy!
