My homemade split pea soup with ham got a little bit of a twist with herbs and red lentils, and surprisingly turned out to be an absolute, lick-the-bowl-clean masterpiece. My family will be so pleased (yes, this is NOT low-carb—FAR from it—I was making it special for my mom and her hubby).

Hmmmmyummeh!
One of my all time favorites! What herbs did you use?
Oh yum. I love pea soup.
Random Shark I used a tiny bit of marjoram, basil, and parsley in the stock, which was made by boiling a ham bone in water, to which I added a 1/2 tsp of chicken boullion. The stock was added to the pot with the dry peas & lentils after I sauteed some finely diced onion & celery in bacon fat.
And lentils? Reeeally. Hmmmmm

Yum, thanks, I’ll be cooking this weekend ?
Sue T. The bag of peas I bought came with a small percentage of red lentils. I got the mix of peas/lentils at TJ Maxx and I did not use the seasoning packet. I think it was called Country Split Pea by Buckeye Beans
I have lentils here, I guess I could add those to mine. I didn’t realize there was a mix. Neat 🙂
I <3 red lentils
Sue T. I didn’t either. And frankly, I don’t care for them in pea soup, but it wasn’t for me (way too carby for me now). I was at that store shopping for gourmet gifts for my mom and her hubby at Christmas. Seeing as they had plenty of food at the time, I promised to take the box of mix home and make them a batch of soup with the ham bone I had in my freezer.
That was very nice 🙂
