French Canadian Yellow Split Pea Soup with Maple Cream
My mother always used to make split pea soup with green split peas and I loved it. This is not my mother’s green split pea soup, however. Instead, this super easy soup follows the French Canadian tradition of using yellow split peas and is the perfect way to use up some leftovers if you've just had a baked ham (which, by the way, is super easy to make in the pressure cooker).
