Split Pea Soup

Split Pea Soup

Everyday

Split pea soup is a thick, hearty dish made from dried split peas – the hulled and halved seeds of green or yellow peas. This protein- and fiber-rich soup develops its signature velvety texture through slow cooking, which breaks down the peas into a creamy consistency without added fats. Traditional versions often incorporate aromatic vegetables like carrots and onions, while some recipes include ham for smoky depth, though vegetarian adaptations are equally common. As a staple in European and North American comfort food traditions, it provides sustained energy from complex carbohydrates while remaining naturally gluten-free.
