For a different spin on split pea soup, try this recipe. The flavor is peppery rather than smoky. —Barbara Link, Rancho Cucamonga, California

Ingredients

1 package (16 ounces) dried green split peas
8 cups water
3/4 pound potatoes (about 2 medium), cubed
2 large onions, chopped
2 medium carrots, chopped
2 cups cubed fully cooked ham (about 10 ounces)
1 celery rib, chopped
5 teaspoons reduced-sodium chicken bouillon granules
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon rubbed sage
1/2 to 1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried basil

Directions

Place all ingredients in a Dutch oven; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until peas and vegetables are tender, 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.

Health Tip: Adding only 2 cups cubed ham adds lots of savory flavor, but keeps sodium under 400 mg per serving.
