Split Pea Soup with Ham (High-Protein)
Split pea soup built on ham and pork shoulder, simmered with onion, carrot and celery until the peas break down into a thick base. A large portion of lean ham and dried split peas push protein high while keeping the classic smoky flavour. Served with black pepper and parsley.
