Method

Soup Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Ham Hock

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

  2. 2

    Add Ingredients

    Add the smoked ham hock, split peas, sweet peas, chickpeas, vegetable broth, salt, black pepper, and thyme to the pot. Bring to a boil.

  3. 3

    Simmer

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover. Let it simmer for about 45 minutes, or until the split peas are tender.

  4. 4

    Blend the Soup

    Remove the ham hock and set aside. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only half of the soup.

  5. 5

    Shred Ham

    Once the ham hock is cool enough to handle, shred the meat and return it to the soup. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Bread Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare the Bread

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush both sides of the bread slices with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder. Place on a baking sheet.

  2. 7

    Toast the Bread

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the bread is golden and crispy.
