This classic soup is what cozy tastes like. Hearty, protein-rich, inexpensive split peas simmer with just the right veggies and seasonings, to create a satisfying meal whenever you crave comfort. It is so easy; anyone can make it. Dried split peas, with an earthy, vegetable flavor, are paired with the perfect amount of onions, celery, and carrot, to make the tastiest split pea soup you will ever have. A ham bone adds not only meat to the soup, but also lends it’s smoky saltiness, so that pepper is the only seasoning you’ll add! We love the variety of textures you get in every spoonful: softened split peas with chunks of ham and slices of carrot—such a delicious concoction to dive into. You are only 6 ingredients away from the best-tasting split pea soup around! This is what your body craves, when there’s a chill in the air or it is plain cold outside. It is one for the winter dinner rotation or an amazing homemade lunch that warms you from the inside out.
