4 cloves garlic, minced
1 lb dried green split peas, rinsed and picked over
1 smoked ham hock (about 1 lb)
8 cups low-sodium chicken broth

Instructions

1
Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and the onion is translucent, about 8–10 minutes.

Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute, watching closely so it does not brown.
