Yellow Split Pea Soup- Recipe

Yellow Split Pea Soup Tips

Can you use green split peas instead of yellow split peas for this recipe?

Yes! There are no major differences between yellow and green split peas, so they can be prepared the same way (and will taste alike).

Should you soak the yellow split peas before cooking?

No soaking necessary! The peas will rehydrate and cook through during the hour it takes to simmer. To simplify things even more and maybe save a little time, you can easily process your soup using an immersion blender.

What other toppings can you put on yellow split pea soup?

A classic to pair with split pea soup is ham and crusty bread. You can either dice up some ham and fry it in a skillet with some bread crumbs to top your soup, or do the same with chopped bacon and chives. If you’re looking to add some protein and texture to your split pea soup, try this hearty split pea soup.

What can you serve with yellow split pea soup?

Hot ham and rolls pair nicely with split pea soup, as does a crisp salad. Try ham and Swiss sliders or top your soup with homemade croutons.
