Split Pea & Ham Soup

This is the kind of American lunch you’ll make on repeat — split peas and ham, 50 minutes, big payoff. Each serving lands at 440 calories with 30g of protein, so it eats like a much heavier meal. It scales cleanly if you are cooking for more than one.

Ingredients

• 1 cup Split peas
• 4 oz Ham
• 1/2 cup Carrot
• 1/2 Onion
• 3 cups Vegetable broth
• 1 Bay leaf

Steps

1. Rinse the split peas and pick out any shriveled ones.
2. Combine peas, broth, and bay leaf in a large pot; bring to a boil.
3. Skim off any foam, then reduce to a gentle simmer.
4. Cook 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peas start to break down.
5. Add the diced ham, carrot, and onion.
6. Simmer 20 more minutes until thick and creamy — the peas should nearly dissolve.
7. Fish out the bay leaf, season with pepper, and serve steaming.
