By momgram1

Good use of leftover ham bone and pieces of ham - delicious!

Ingredients

• 16 oz green split peas
• ham & bone
• 1 medium onion
• 2 carrots
• 2 stalks celery
• 1 chicken boullion cube
• 10 cups water

Preparation

Step 1

Before cooking dried peas always examine, sort, and rinse well.

Put water in a large pot. Add bone,ham,boullion cube, sliced carrots, chopped celery, chopped onion and peas.
Bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat and simmer about 2 hrs., stirring occasionally to keep peas from sticking on the bottom.
When done, remove bone. Soup is ready to enjoy.If reheating it at a later time, soup will be thick but low and slow heat will thin it out again.
