Big Batch Split Pea Soup

Prep Time: 15 mins

Total Time: 55 mins

Serves: 10

Ingredients

2 tbsp: olive oil; 30 mL

1: onion, coarsely chopped

4: carrots, peeled and coarsely chopped

3: celery stalks, coarsely chopped

2 cups: green split peas; 500 mL

½ tsp: salt; 2 mL

½ tsp: pepper; 2 mL

8 cups: reduced sodium chicken broth; 2 L

2 cups: diced ham (about 10 oz/300g); 500 mL

2 tbsp: lemon juice; 30 mL

2 tsp: fresh thyme; 10 mL

Method

Step 1: Heat oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and cook 3 min., until beginning to soften. Mix in carrots, celery, split peas, salt and pepper. Stir in broth. Bring just to a boil over high heat then reduce to a simmer. Cook, partially covered, 30 to 40 min., or until peas and vegetables are tender.

Step 2: Use an immersion blender to purée soup until smooth. Stir in ham, lemon juice and thyme. Heat soup on low heat, 3 to 4 min., or until ham is warmed through. If soup is too thick, stir in an extra ½ cup (125 mL) to 1 cup (250 mL) water. Serve topped with croutons, if desired.
