Ingredients

1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 yellow onion chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
1 bay leaf
16 ounces dried split peas
64 ounces 8 cups Zoup! Good, Really Good® Veggie Broth
1 meaty ham bone
3 large carrots sliced
3 celery stalks sliced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon fresh thyme minced

Instructions

Sauté the onions and garlic in olive oil. Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large soup pot. Add the onions and sauté 2-3 minutes, then add the minced garlic and sauté 1-2 minutes more.
To the pot, add the split peas, ham bone with meat, bay leaf and broth. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 1 hour.
Remove the lid and stir, then remove the ham bone and chop or shred the meat into pieces.
Return the meat to the soup pot and add the carrots, celery, salt, pepper and thyme.
Simmer, uncovered, for an additional 30 minutes or until veggies are tender and soup is thickened.

Notes

You'll want about 2 cups of chopped ham in the final recipe, so be sure to leave plenty of meat on the bone. You can always add more ham if need be!
