01 Step

Recipe View 5 mins In a heavy soup pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until softened and translucent, approximately 5 minutes. Introduce the herbes de Provence, ground turmeric, bay leaves, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Stir continuously until the spices release their fragrant aromas, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Recipe View 3 mins Pour in the vegetable stock and water. Add the rinsed split peas, half of the diced new potatoes, and half of the chopped carrots. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and allow the soup to simmer gently until the split peas are nearly tender, around 35 minutes.

Recipe View 35 mins Introduce the remaining potatoes and carrots to the pot. Add the chopped lean cooked ham. Cover once more and continue to simmer until all the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded beautifully, approximately 25 minutes. Check the consistency and add more stock or water if needed to reach your desired thickness.

For a richer flavor, consider using ham stock instead of vegetable stock.
If you don't have herbes de Provence, a mix of dried thyme, rosemary, and savory will work well.
Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your preferred level of spiciness.
This soup tastes even better the next day, as the flavors have more time to develop.
