Turn yesterday’s ham into today’s cozy comfort! Whip up our simple leftover ham & split pea soup for a deliciously easy dinner tonight! I wanted to make a soup with some of our leftover ham from yesterday, and always find that this is an easy recipe to follow. You can certainly throw all of the ingredients in at once and then bring to a boil, but I like taking the extra few minutes to sauté the vegetables to bring out a bit of extra flavor.

For this recipe, I used my Pampered Chef 8-qt. (7.6-L) Nonstick Stock Pot:

Ingredients

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 onions peeled and diced
2 carrots peeled and diced
2 stalks celery diced
3 cloves garlic, sliced
16-ounce package dried split peas
6 cups chicken broth
2 cups water
2 potatoes peeled and cubed
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried sage
¹⁄₂ teaspoon dried basil
1 meaty ham bone
1 bay leaf
2 cups diced ham total includes meat from ham bone

To Garnish

Garlic Butter Croutons

Instructions

Melt butter over medium heat, then add in the onions, carrots, and celery. Season with pepper, and sauté for 3-5 minutes, or until slightly softened. Add in garlic, stir, and sauté for an additional minute, until fragrant.

Add in split peas, broth, water, spices, ham bone and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then simmer, uncovered, for 60-90 minutes, until soup has thickened.

Remove ham bone from soup, and transfer to cutting board. Remove meat from the bone, and the meat back to the soup, adding additional diced ham to make two cups.

Serve immediately, topped with croutons if desired.
