Split Pea Soup

Brian has been wanting split pea soup, so here it is.

Ingredients needed:

Ham bone with some ham left on it.

Split Peas (the number of bags depands on how much soup you want)

Carrots diced or sliced up (lots of carrots needed)

 

Boil the bone with the ham on for 1.5-2 hours and then take the bone out and cut any meat of that did not fall off.  Skim the fat off the top.

 Add the cut off ham and peas to the pot let the peas cook down until tender and then mash.

Once the Peas at to a mashed consistency add the diced/sliced carrots and let cook until carrots are fork tender.  I had more peas than I realized and had to break it into two pots.

Enjoy!
