Easy Split Pea Soup- with very little hands on time, this split pea soup comes together easy and in one-pot. Packed full of flavor and nutrition, it’s sure to become a staple!

I thought for sure this Irish Lager Stew was going to be the last soupy kind of meal I would share for a while but then we got a cold front last week and split pea soup happened.
This was actually my first time making split pea soup because I always thought it required ham in order to be considered flavorful. But then I found this recipe from Smitten Kitchen and I realized that’s not necessarily the case. Because if Deb says it’s good without it, then it is.
Other than leaving out the ham, what sets her recipe apart was using leeks as the base. I love leeks and they just so happen to be in season so giving this version a try was a no brainer.
