Split peas are often under-used and under-appreciated. They're a great base for a thick, veggie-packed and high-protein soup like this one.

ready in:
  2-5 hrs

ingredients

1 pound dried split green peas
2 cups chopped onion
3 cloves garlic, peeled but left whole
8 cubes vegetable bouillon
1 bay leaf
12 cups water
1 cup chopped baked ham
1 cup chopped celery
3/4 cup peeled and chopped carrots
2 whole sprigs fresh thyme
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 dash hot pepper sauce

directions

Combine the split peas, onion, garlic, vegetable bouillon, bay leaf, and water in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let simmer, uncovered, for 1 hour. Stir.

Add the ham, celery, carrots, and thyme. Let simmer for 1 more hour or until the split peas and vegetables are tender.

Remove the garlic cloves, bay leaf, and thyme sprigs. Add the black pepper, hot sauce, and pimiento (if using). Mix well and serve warm.
