Ham and Pea Soup is a comforting, hearty dish often enjoyed in Western cuisines, particularly in British and American culinary traditions. It typically features split peas, diced ham, onions, carrots, celery, garlic, and flavorful herbs like thyme or bay leaves, simmered to create a thick and wholesome soup. The inclusion of split peas, a nutrient-dense legume, provides a good source of protein, fiber, and essential vitamins like B6 and folate, promoting digestive health and sustained energy. Ham adds a smoky and savory profile, offering additional protein but also contributing sodium and fat, depending on its preparation. Carrots and celery provide a variety of vitamins and minerals, boosting overall nutritional value. While satisfying and nutrient-rich, those mindful of sodium or fat intake may opt for lower-sodium ham or leaner alternatives to customize this classic dish to dietary preferences.
