Split Green Pea Soup by Kianna Dior

I LOVE soup this is one of my favs! Reminds me of growing up in Canada. It's a good hearty soup :) My Mom used to make this soup and I would get so excited and happy throughout the years. It is a very filling soup definitely if you can use a real ham hock bone. It just really adds to the flavor so mmm mmm good !!! Omg just writing this is making me hungry. I just made this soup for one of my girlfriends who is a famous celebrity trainer and she LOVED it. Reminded her that her Mom also makes this soup for her when she visits home (Europe) for the Christmas holidays. She also said it was very healthy. I think the peas may have protein/ fiber in them. It's so good I always make a HUGE pot and leave it in the fridge with the lid on for a couple of days. Then I scoop some up in a ziplock bag and freeze individual baggies for lunch or dinner. The soup warms up good and I think it tastes even better older. The peas do soak up a lot of broth so when you warm the soup up do not forget to add some water or low-sodium chicken broth. That's what I do and crack a little black pepper on top so yummy!! I also think it is a great option if you are a busy person and trying to eat healthy and have portion control. - Kianna Dior

Ingredients Needed

1/2 onion

2 tbs butter

3 garlic cloves

2 diced celery ribs

1 lb ham - I like the ham bone def adds more favor but can be seasonal

1 bay leaf

1 pound organic dried split peas

1 quart organic chicken stock - low sodium

2 1/2 cups of water

salt and pepper to your liking

Directions

Put the butter in a large soup pot and brown the onion, celery and garlic;

Add the ham, bay leaf, and peas;

Stir in the water and chicken broth;

Cook on low heat until the peas break down and the meat falls off the bone- so good!

I do not suggest trying to rinse off the peas straight out of the bag. I tried that once and it just got really hard and stuck together like a bunch of chunky balls haha unless you like to make work for yourself like I do at times :)

Also if you feel like being naughty, warm up some homemade bread or just some plain bread. Dip it in the soup so good you're allowed to slurp and drip soup on your shirt when you make my yummy soup lol! If you ever want more of my very easy simple and delicious soup recipes please let me know : ) : )

Thank You, enjoy, Love Kianna XoXo
