Step 1
Rinse split peas under cold water and pick through for debris.
Step 2
Dice onion, celery, and carrot into uniform small pieces.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, celery, and carrot; sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
Step 4
Add split peas, ham bone, broth, bay leaves, and thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 5
Remove ham bone and bay leaves. If using whole ham, shred any meat from the bone and return to pot. Stir in diced ham if using.
Step 6
For a smoother soup, use an immersion blender to partially puree (or leave chunky, as preferred). Season with salt and pepper.
Step 7
Simmer for 2-3 minutes more, adjust seasoning, and serve hot.
