Split Pea Soup with Smoked Ham

By

This post is sponsored by Grass Roots

Split pea soup is one of my VERY favorite soups!! I just love the thick texture (“that fog is as thick as split pea soup, ya hear!”) and it’s even bette with salty, smoked ham and a dollop of sour cream!

The craving hit me hard when Grass Roots sent me a package of their meats and this Hickory Smoked Ham was included!

About Grass Roots

To get $50 off your box of $125 (that is a LOT of complimentary meat!) – use the code KYOUNGER at checkout. There is FREE shipping and NO subscription. It’s just a one-time order to try these meats and support a company with a great mission.

We received an assortment of meats, including bacon, chicken breasts, ground beef, center cut pork chops, a whole chicken, bratwurst, and the Hickory ham.

For my first recipe, I made the soup, but I can’t wait to grill some of these now that grilling weather is BACK!

Split Pea Soup Recipe

The ham, which was fully cooked, was great on sandwiches too! I diced up about two heaping cups for the recipe.

I made the soup in the instant pot! It was great to saute the veggies and garlic right inside, put on the lid and set and forget. But you could also very easily make this on the stove top. It will take about an hour the peas to get soft.

For the Instant Pot, after the veggies and garlic are soft, you simply add the broth, peas, ham, thyme and pressure cook high for 15 minutes. That’s it!

Like I said, I like my soup THICK. Almost like oatmeal. If you prefer yours to be brothier, add some more broth!

Split Pea and Smoked Ham Soup

This soup is thick as fog and showcases both split peas and diced ham. 

  • 1 pound of split peas (rinsed)
  • 2 cups diced smoked ham
  • 3 carrots (diced)
  • 3 celery stalks (diced)
  • 3 garlic cloves (pressed)
  • Salt + pepper to taste
  • 4 cups broth
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme (more for garnish)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Half a lemon
  1. In the Instant Pot, sauté veggies and garlic for 5 minutes in olive oil.
  2. Add ham, broth, thyme, peas, and salt and pepper.
  3. Set to Pressure cook on high for 15 minutes.
  4. Natural release for 10 minutes and then vent and open lid.
  5. Serve with fresh thyme, a squeeze of lemon juice, and sour cream on top.

You want to know what else is a ham? THIS GUY! He actually loved the soup!!

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote! Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
