This Ukrainian Split Pea Soup is a delicious combination of tender split peas, smoked beef bone, and vegetables. It is packed full of flavor and is a hearty and filling soup to have after a long walk on the beach or in the woods!
Start by sauteing onion, carrots, and celery in oil, stirring occasionally. Add bones/meat (if using), water, bay leaves, and peppercorns. Bring the soup to a boil and skim any foam from the top using a mesh strainer. Add the split peas and salt. Bring the soup to a boil before reducing to low and cooking until the peas are soft and partially broken down. Season the soup with pepper. Serve hot, garnished with green onion, dill, or parsley.
To make Ukrainian Split Pea Soup, you will need the following ingredients:
Place a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil.
Saute 1 large finely chopped onion, 2 large chopped carrots, and 3 large chopped celery stalks for 5 minutes.
Add 1-2 pounds of ham bone, 8 cups water, 2 bay leaves, and 5 peppercorns. Bring to a boil, skimming any foam from the top.
Add 2 cups of split peas and season with salt to taste.
Bring the soup to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer on low for 1 - 1 ½ hours, until the split peas are tender.
