Split Pea Soup
So... we ate this Christmas ham and there was a lot of meat leftover. I couldn’t bare to watch it get thrown away so I took it home. Could have just made some ham and cheese sandwiches or ham and potato salad but there was a bag of split peas screaming to be cooked. Now... feel free to substitute any of the vegetables... they’re basically going to be disintegrated anyway. I used what I had on hand.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Set the oven for 400 F, wrap the sweet potato in foil and bake 40 minutes. Simultaneously, wash beans and veggies. Chop vegetables roughly. Appearance isn’t really a factor here.
- 2
Put some canola oil in a pan and begin sautéing the vegetables until they get a little color. Season Generously. Add in the ham.
- 3
I added 3 Liters of water to the pot. Surely you could use vegetable broth. Bring this to a low boil for a good hour and a half, uncovered. The liquid will reduce and the flavors will intensify. The meat will also start becoming more tender. Stir occasionally.

After the ham has had its time to boil, add in the split peas. Peel and chop the sweet potato and add it to the party. Continue to simmer for another 2 hours or so. Stir occasionally.
- 5
After a couple hours, you’ll notice your split peas becoming less noticeable. The soup will have thickened up considerably. Remove the ham from the soup and begin to separate it from the bone. Reserve. Pour the soup into a blender and blend until smooth. Empty it into a large bowl and repeat until all soup is blended. Pour the blended soup from the bowl back into the pot. Put the separated ham back in the pot. The soup is now ready to serve.

Garnish with parsley flakes and call it an evening.

Split pea soup always reminds me of my mom's cooking. I wish I could make it as good as she can but this is my spin on her soup. Very thick soup.

I am finding ways to cut my salt intake, and one way I am trying is to use spices like chaat masala (which does contain salt, but much less than if I was seasoning) and reduced salt bouillon powder.
