Split pea soup has a rich history dating back to ancient Greece and Rome, where it was a staple dish. The soup gained popularity in the 19th century in the United States, particularly in New England, where it became a beloved comfort food. Chefs like Julia Child and James Beard popularized the dish, adding their own unique twists. Today, the best split pea soup can be found in traditional American diners and restaurants in the New England region. The key to a delicious split pea soup lies in the quality of the split peas, the addition of flavorful ham hocks or bacon, and a slow simmer to develop the rich, hearty flavors. For a twist, consider adding smoked turkey or using a pressure cooker for a quicker version.
