Key Ingredient

Classic Hickory Smoked Ham Steak 8oz.

1 Cup Farmer John Thick Cut Ham Steak, Diced

1/4 Cup Unsalted Butter

2 Cups Chopped Onion

1 Cup Diced Carrot

1 Cup Diced Celery

1/2 Tsp. Kosher Salt

1/2 Tsp. Freshly Ground Black Pepper

2 Cloves Garlic, Minced

1 Pound Dried Split Peas, Rinsed And Sorted

1 Meaty Ham Bone

1 Large Bay Leaf

2 Tsp. Fresh Thyme Leaves, Chopped And Divided

6 Cups Chicken Stock

2 Cups Water

Croutons For Serving

Key IngredientClassic Hickory Smoked Ham Steak 8oz.

Directions

1In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt butter until foaming subsides. Add onion, carrot, celery, 1/4 tsp. Salt and 1/2 tsp. Pepper. Cook until vegetables are softened and just beginning to brown, 5-8 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute, until aromatic. Stir in split peas.

2Add ham bone, bay leaf, and 1 teaspoon fresh thyme. Stir in chicken stock and water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer uncovered for 60-90 minutes, stirring occasionally, until split peas are cooked down and soup is thickened to desired consistency. (Stir more frequently as the soup begins to thicken and add a little additional stock or water if it gets too thick for your tastes.)

3Add diced ham during the last 15 minutes of cooking. When ready to serve, remove and discard ham bone and bay leaf, and stir in remaining 1 tsp. fresh thyme. Season to taste with salt, if needed. Serve hot with croutons and cracked black pepper.
