The exciting kerfuffle of the holidays is over, and you\u2019re left with short dark cold days, and lots of quiet time to think about the year ahead. I did quite a bit of reflecting on what I wanted to focus on this year, with our plans for the homestead and all, and in the midst of that I was also getting all my work prepared for opening up <a href=\"https:\/\/www.creativebusinessschool.com\/join\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Creative Business School<\/a> again (which I\u2019m now accepting new students for, but will be closing enrollment again on the 4th). So basically, January flew right past me in a flurry, much like the intense rain storms our house has weathered these past few weeks.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-25745\" src=\"https:\/\/adventuresincooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Split-Pea-Soup01-4.jpg\" alt=\"Split Pea Soup with Ham Hock\" width=\"1929\" height=\"2700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adventuresincooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Split-Pea-Soup01-4.jpg 1929w, https:\/\/adventuresincooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Split-Pea-Soup01-4-607x850.jpg 607w, https:\/\/adventuresincooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Split-Pea-Soup01-4-768x1075.jpg 768w, https:\/\/adventuresincooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Split-Pea-Soup01-4-965x1350.jpg 965w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1929px) 100vw, 1929px\"\/>I\u2019m here now though, on the 1st of February, halfway between the winter solstice and the first day of spring, to share a little bit of cozy comfort food with you in the form of a green, hearty, and delightfully smokey soup. This is based on my grandpa\u2019s recipe for split pea soup, and being a born and bred southern Indiana boy, he always cooked his with a smoked ham hock floating around in it. If you\u2019re unfamiliar with a hock, it\u2019s basically the knee\/ankle joint of the pig. It\u2019s usually smoked, and can be enjoyed as-is in all its fatty chewy smokey glory, but its true super power is its ability to make any liquid you boil it in taste wickedly good. In short, the best possible way to make split pea soup requires you to use a smoked ham hock. Or at least that\u2019s how my grandpa felt about it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-25747\" src=\"https:\/\/adventuresincooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Split-Pea-Soup01-6.jpg\" alt=\"Toasted Bread in Soup\" width=\"1800\" height=\"2700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adventuresincooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Split-Pea-Soup01-6.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/adventuresincooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Split-Pea-Soup01-6-567x850.jpg 567w, https:\/\/adventuresincooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Split-Pea-Soup01-6-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/adventuresincooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Split-Pea-Soup01-6-900x1350.jpg 900w, https:\/\/adventuresincooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Split-Pea-Soup01-6-600x900.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\"\/>If you don\u2019t have one handy, you can chop up some bacon and throw it in there to still add a touch of that smokey flavor, but you\u2019re missing out on all the richness from the cartilage of the hock itself breaking down, and the tender little bits of meat that come off of it and become at one with the muddled green stew. So I recommend trying to get one, if you can. To add some brightness to the mix, I really like stirring in frozen peas at the very end of cooking, so you still get little bursts of that bright, fresh spring-y flavor that fresh peas are packed with, plus the comforting heartiness of cooked up mushy split peas. And throwing some fresh thyme and parsley on top right before serving helps with this, too.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-25746\" src=\"https:\/\/adventuresincooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Split-Pea-Soup01-5.jpg\" alt=\"Split Pea Soup with Ham Hock\" width=\"1929\" height=\"2700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adventuresincooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Split-Pea-Soup01-5.jpg 1929w, https:\/\/adventuresincooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Split-Pea-Soup01-5-607x850.jpg 607w, https:\/\/adventuresincooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Split-Pea-Soup01-5-768x1075.jpg 768w, https:\/\/adventuresincooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Split-Pea-Soup01-5-965x1350.jpg 965w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1929px) 100vw, 1929px\"\/>And while I didn\u2019t put up a new post in January, I did re-test and update this absolutely delicious <a href=\"https:\/\/adventuresincooking.com\/avgolemono-soup-greek-chicken-soup\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">avgolemono soup<\/a> recipe from the archives, so if you want to keep the soup train a-moving I\u2019ve got you covered on that front.
