Ingredients

6 servings

1 tbsp olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
3 medium carrots, peeled and diced
3 stalks celery, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 lb (about 2 ¼ cups) dried green split peas, rinsed
1 smoked ham hock (about 1 lb)
8 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups water
2 bay leaves
1 tsp dried thyme
½ tsp smoked paprika
salt and pepper, to taste

For serving

2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion, carrots, and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and the onion is translucent, about 8 minutes.
2
Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Watch closely so the garlic does not brown.
