How To Make rosemary split pea soup

  • 1
    Cut ham into small bite sized pieces. I don't like cubes but prefer a more shredded ham. You can cut or chop ham any way you like.
  • 2
    Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven or soup pot. Stir in onion, leek, carrot, and garlic. Cook until the vegetables are soft, about 8 minutes. Add chicken broth. Stir in ham, split peas, bay leaves, and rosemary. If using red pepper flakes add now. Bring just to a boil. Immediately reduce heat to low and cover the pot. Simmer until peas are cooked, about 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
