1 lb split peas (yellow or green) |
10 cups cold water |
1/2 cup diced carrot |
1/2 cup diced onion |
1 lb ham bone (can substitute smoked ham hocks) |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients in a large soup pot.
2. Bring to a boil slowly.
3. Reduce heat and simmer until thick.
4. Remove bone, skin, and any fat.
5. Chop meat into bite-sized pieces.
6. Season to taste.
