Split Pea Soup with Smoked Ham

This post is sponsored by Grass Roots

this !

Split pea soup is one of my VERY favorite soups!! I just love the thick texture (“that fog is as thick as split pea soup, ya hear!”) and it’s even bette with salty, smoked ham and a dollop of sour cream!

The craving hit me hard when Grass Roots sent me a package of their meats and this Hickory Smoked Ham was included!

About Grass Roots

Grass Roots Farmers’ Cooperative is a group of small-scale family farmers providing high quality, nutritious meat in a manner that is humane, transparent, sustainable and fair. Raising small batches of chickens, pigs and cattle on 100% fresh pasture, the company’s happy animals live outdoors and are free of antibiotics, growth hormones, and GMOs. Grass Roots implements innovative agricultural practices – from sustainable agricultural methods that regenerate the soil to being the first and only meat producer in the country using blockchain technology to track products from farm to plate. They also own and operate their own butcher, ensuring the highest standards and that the meats never get doused in chemicals like chlorine.

To get $50 off your box of $125 (that is a LOT of complimentary meat!) – use the code KYOUNGER at checkout. There is free shipping on orders over $125 (after discount) and NO subscription. It’s just a one-time order to try these meats and support a company with a great mission.

We received an assortment of meats, including bacon, chicken breasts, ground beef, center cut pork chops, a whole chicken, bratwurst, and the Hickory ham.

For my first recipe, I made the soup, but I can’t wait to grill some of these now that grilling weather is BACK!

Split Pea Soup Recipe

The ham, which was fully cooked, was great on sandwiches too! I diced up about two heaping cups for the recipe.

I made the soup in the instant pot! It was great to saute the veggies and garlic right inside, put on the lid and set and forget. But you could also very easily make this on the stove top. It will take about an hour the peas to get soft.

For the Instant Pot, after the veggies and garlic are soft, you simply add the broth, peas, ham, thyme and pressure cook high for 15 minutes. That’s it!


Like I said, I like my soup THICK. Almost like oatmeal. If you prefer yours to be brothier, add some more broth!

    Totally agree with your kind of soup…I always prefer a thick soup…almost veering into “stoup” (stew/soup hybrid) territory. And split pea with ham is my favorite, so can’t wait to try this in our Instant Pot!

    Just an FYI…I just tried to place an order and after I entered your code, I lost the free shipping and was going to be charged $25 for shipping so I didn’t place the order. Not such a good “deal” when they’re going to charge for shipping.

          Laura, I just heard back and have updated the post language. There was a miscommunication in the offer. In order to receive free shipping, the total must be over $125 after the discount. So you can still get free shipping, but the gross total must be $175 – $50 deal = $125 net to get free shipping. I hope that makes sense, and I apologize for the confusion!
