Instructions
- In large stock pot or Dutch oven, on medium heat sauté onions, carrots and celery in butter until translucent and softened, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add minced garlic, stir for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add chicken broth, peas, bay leaf, thyme, black pepper, salt and ham hock to the pot. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce low to simmer. Cover and let simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally (peas and ham hock should be tender).
- Remove ham hock and set aside to cool for 10 minutes. Shred or dice ham into small pieces, set aside.
- Let soup simmer for an additional 30 minutes until peas are broken down; add ham back in.
- Serve with fresh cracked black pepper from McCormick's Black Pepper Grinder, crackers, croutons or crusty bread.
