A no-fuss, deeply flavorful version of the classic, made with green split peas and smoky ham.
We keep it simple with aromatics, ham, and stock as the background for green split peas.Fresh shelled sweet peas have a fleeting season, just a handful of weeks in the spring when they are small, tender, and relatively high in the simple sugars that give them such a pleasant flavor. As they age they grow increasingly starchy, making them less and less enjoyable to eat as a just-picked vegetable.
There are countless versions of this soup all over the world, but this simple rendition with smoky pork is an American classic. It hits all the right notes, from its affordability to its deliciousness and its undeniable ability to warm bellies in the colder months. And while it's not exactly a "quick" recipe, given the hour-plus it takes to simmer the peas to melting softness, it couldn't come together more easily.
If you want, you can quickly blitz the soup with a blender to make the soup even creamier and thick. Then hang you nose over a steaming bowl and breathe in—that's the smell of comfort.This recipe has been lightly edited to more clearly specify when the ham and/or ham hock is added to the soup. A new headnote was also written in 2022 to replace the original.
