split pea

Soup legume, dried

A split pea is a dried pea that has been peeled and divided in half along its natural seam.

Yellow and green varieties are common.

Split peas cook faster than whole dried peas and break down into a thick puree, making them ideal for soups: a bowl of split pea soup with ham.
