I love this time of year because I can make soups and stews all winter long. This Split Pea Soup With Ham And Potatoes is right up at the top of my favorite soups to make.
My mom made split pea soup in the crockpot when I was a kid and I have always loved it. I think it was one of her best leftover ham ideas!
Making Split Pea Soup
I used to make it very smooth and well blended with an immersion blender but I now like eating it with chunks of ham, carrots, and potatoes.
It’s really hard to believe that anything this easy can be SOOOO Good! TASTE is what it’s all about! A really quick and easy recipe that’s perfect for lunch or dinner.
The corn was an afterthought but it adds such a nice contrast of texture and taste that I will include it from now on. I’m sold! (Be sure to use the one with the peppers!)
I made this version for friends and there was very little left, so be sure to make a double batch if you expect leftovers!
Did I mention that I LOVE split pea soup? It really reminds me of my childhood and my Mother. She would always make it when there was leftover ham… yum.
Give it a try and I think you’ll agree that it’s one of the best recipes using leftover ham!
