💡 Soaking the peas overnight ensures they cook evenly and thoroughly.You can substitute ham with smoked turkey or leave it out entirely for a vegetarian option using vegetable broth.This soup freezes well, so you can make it ahead of time in bulk.For extra flavor, add a bay leaf while simmering and remove it before serving.
