BEST SPLIT PEA SOUP RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Place the butter into a large (4 to 6-quart) saucepan over medium-low heat. Once melted, add the onion and a generous pinch of salt and sweat for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and continue to sweat for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, making certain not to allow onions or garlic to brown.
• Add the peas, chicken broth and curry powder. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook at a simmer until the peas are tender and not holding their shape any longer, approximately 45 to 50 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Using care and a stick blender, puree the soup until the desired consistency. Watch out for hot splatters.

Steps:

• In a slow cooker combine split peas, onion, carrots, celery, garlic, thyme, ginger, and red pepper flakes. . Pour broth over and add ham bone. Season with salt and pepper.  Cook on high for 4 to 5 hours or low for 6 to 8, until peas are completely soft.  Remove ham bone from slow cooker and shred any remaining meat. Add meat back to slow cooker and serve.
