Particularly, Campbell&#8217;s split pea soup with ham, that ubiquitous red and white label in the cupboard promising a quick, easy and filling meal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like most canned soups, the canned version of split pea with ham comes in at a whopping <a href=\"https:\/\/www.campbells.com\/products\/condensed\/split-pea-with-ham-soup\/\">790 milligrams of sodium per half cup serving<\/a>&#8230;and who the heck eats just a half cup of soup?! I mean, come on. If you&#8217;re an adult, you eat the whole can. It&#8217;s just a given. Or at least, half a can, when you split it with your soup-loving spouse!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fannie-farmer-split-pea-soup-recipe\">Fannie Farmer Split Pea Soup Recipe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So I turned to my trusty Fannie Farmer Cookbook (13th edition) and found a from-scratch recipe for split pea soup on page 97. And while this soup is based on the recipe, it is not an exact duplicate. I have updated it for our whole food plant based (nutritarian) diet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having made this soup now several times and adjusted it to ensure it is low-sodium and vegetarian so that it fits with our family&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/homegardenjoy.com\/site\/2019\/02\/heirloom-beans-going-nutritarian-and-some-observations.html\">nutritarian diet and lifestyle<\/a>, I can assure you that no matter how you make this recipe, it is YUM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"794\" src=\"https:\/\/homegardenjoy.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220206_154434-2-1200x794.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homegardenjoy.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220206_154434-2-1200x794.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/homegardenjoy.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220206_154434-2-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/homegardenjoy.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220206_154434-2-768x508.jpg 768w, https:\/\/homegardenjoy.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220206_154434-2-1536x1017.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/homegardenjoy.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220206_154434-2.jpg 1813w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"four-ingredients\">Four Ingredients<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>First, the good news: this soup uses just four ingredients if you make it vegetarian-style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A 16-ounce bag of dried split peas<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 onion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 tablespoon of margarine, butter or oil (for vegan versions)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>7-8 cups of water<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>And that&#8217;s it. Really. Pinky swear. It&#8217;s that simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"recipe-preparation\">Recipe Preparation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s no need to soak split peas to make this soup no matter what the bag says to do. Trust me on this. The first few times I made this recipe, I soaked the peas overnight. Then, as it happened, I completely forgot to soak the peas and just threw them into the pot one Saturday afternoon, figuring I had a little extra time so why not?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And why not indeed&#8230;the split pea soup turned out just fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"instructions-to-make-healthy-easy-split-pea-soup\">Instructions to Make Healthy, Easy Split Pea Soup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All you need is a large stock or soup pot with a lid, a measuring cup, knife and cutting board. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Peel and dice the <a href=\"https:\/\/homegardenjoy.com\/site\/2014\/04\/onions-in-the-home-garden.html\">onion<\/a> into small pieces.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Melt the butter, margarine or oil into the stock pot.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stir in the onion and cook slowly, over low heat, stirring frequently, for at least 5-10 minutes or until translucent.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add peas and 7-8 cups of water. Add 7 cups if you want thicker soup, 8 cups for thinner soup. You can always add more water later.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bring to a boil.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lower to simmer and cover pot with lid slightly ajar to release steam.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stir frequently (every 10-15 minutes) to prevent sticking. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cook for one hour, then test to see if peas are done.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a smooth soup, use an immersion blender to blend soup into a silky puree. I just serve it straight from the pot as a thick soup. We love it that way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-to-serve-with-pea-soup\">What to Serve with Pea Soup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Water bread. What the heck is water bread? It&#8217;s another Fannie Farmer recipe that makes a light, airy, slightly crusty loaf and rolls of white bread that is to die for.  It is melt in your mouth goodness, a bread with a dough so silky smooth you&#8217;ll want to keep kneading it just for the pleasure of plying the silk-yeast-dough in your own two hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ll share that baking experience soon. In the meantime, purchase a copy of the Fannie Farmer Cookbook, turn to page 97, and make the soup recipe. You&#8217;ll thank me later!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">The following are affiliate links.
