And honestly, the broth alone is reason enough to make it. \u2661<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the soup simmers, the ham hock (or leftover ham bone) slowly releases all of its smoky, savory goodness into the broth, adding sooo much flavor to every bite. Simmered together with tender split peas, chopped veggies, and a few simple seasonings, everything comes together into a deeply flavorful soup that always tastes like so much more than the sum of its parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s the kind of low-fuss, ultra-cozy, back-pocket recipe I love to make whenever we have leftover ham in the fridge. I know you&#8217;ll love it too!<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<!--more-->\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1392\" height=\"2088\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/split-pea-soup-with-ham\/?tp_image_id=91997\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GSOSplitPeaSoup_Shot2_43-1392x2088.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-91997\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GSOSplitPeaSoup_Shot2_43-1392x2088.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GSOSplitPeaSoup_Shot2_43-1100x1650.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GSOSplitPeaSoup_Shot2_43-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GSOSplitPeaSoup_Shot2_43-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GSOSplitPeaSoup_Shot2_43-400x600.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1392px) 100vw, 1392px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-recipe-tips\">Recipe Tips<\/h2>\n\n<p>Here are a few quick tips to ensure that this recipe turns out perfectly each time!<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Rinse the split peas well.<\/strong> They don\u2019t need soaking, but a quick rinse removes excess starch and any debris.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stir occasionally.<\/strong> Split peas can settle on the bottom of the pot, so a quick stir every so often helps prevent sticking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Season at the end.<\/strong> Ham hocks and broth can vary majorly in saltiness, so wait until the soup finishes cooking before adding salt.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Like it thicker?<\/strong> Let the soup rest for 10\u201315 minutes off the heat \u2014 it will continue to thicken as it cools slightly.
