How to Make Andersen's Split Pea Soup Copycat

  1. In a large pot, combine 1 pound dried split peas, 1 cup chopped onion, 2 carrots (chopped), 2 celery stalks (chopped), 8 cups of water or chicken broth, 2 ham hocks, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, 1 bay leaf, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 60-70 minutes, or until the peas are tender and easily mashed.
  3. Carefully remove the ham hocks from the pot and set aside to cool slightly.
  4. Once the ham hocks are cool enough to handle, remove the meat from the bones and shred it. Set aside.
  5. Carefully pour the soup through a fine-mesh sieve or strainer, discarding the solids.
  6. Return the strained soup to the pot and stir in the shredded ham. Reheat gently for 5-10 minutes.
  7. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper. Serve hot and enjoy! Makes approximately 8 servings.
