Rinse the dried split peas under cold running water. Sort through them to remove any small stones or debris. Drain well and set aside.
In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened and the onion is translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for one more minute until fragrant.
Add the rinsed split peas, low-sodium chicken broth, smoked ham hock, bay leaf, and dried thyme to the pot. Stir to combine and increase the heat to high, bringing the soup to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid slightly ajar, and let it simmer gently for 75-90 minutes. Stir every 15-20 minutes to prevent the peas from sticking to the bottom. The soup is done when the peas are tender and have broken down, creating a thick, creamy consistency.
Carefully transfer the ham hock from the pot to a cutting board. Let it cool for a few minutes until it's safe to handle. Using two forks, shred the meat from the bone. Discard the bone, skin, and any excess fat.
Return the shredded ham to the soup. Remove and discard the bay leaf. Taste and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Be cautious with the salt, as the ham hock is already salty.
If the soup is thicker than you prefer, stir in a splash of hot water or broth to reach your desired consistency. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
