Hearty Ham and Split Pea Soup
Hearty Ham and Split Pea Soup delivers a rich, smoky backbone from the ham bone, with creamy peas punctuated by tender carrots, celery, potato, and sweet onions. Each spoonful is thick and comforting, balanced with a hint of marjoram and black pepper. It’s ideal for cozy weeknights or a warming weekend lunch, especially when the weather turns brisk.
