Back in the day, (when there was still three of us), we usually got a small Honey-Baked Ham for the holidays and the leftover ham was used for ham and bean soup and ham and split-pea soup.

I haven’t had split pea soup since childhood! My mom always bought a ham with a bone too and made the ham & bean soup….yum!

Indeed – I can taste it now! In Canada we used to have a canned soup we bought sometimes, “Habitant split pea soup” and it was yellow peas … tasted really good, but different. There was a restaurant called “The Magic Pan” here about twenty years ago – it was a franchise and they served that French-Canadian style yellow peas soup and put a dollop of sour cream on top and sprinkled chives on the sour cream. We never did that though.

It does not look like split pea soup – it was chunkier as the peas were whole.

This soup looks divine. I like how you used fairly large pieces of potato and ham – and the green onion garnish. It makes for a nice presentation.
