Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
8 c Water
2 1/4 c Split peas, dried
1 md Onion
1 t Salt
1/4 ts Pepper
2 Carrots, chopped
2 Celery, chopped

1 lb. of dried split peas úpprox. 2 1/4 cups

Heat water and peas to boiling. Boil for 2 minutes,
then remove from heat and cover. Let sit for 1 hour.

Add ham (whole), onion, salt and pepper. Cover and
simmer until peas are tender, about 1 hour.

Remove ham and trim meat from bone. (I usually use 1
lb boneless smoked ham) Cut ham to 1/2 inch pieces.
Stir ham, carrots, and celery into soup. Cover and
simmer until veggies are tender, about 45 minutes.

Like I said, it freezes well and is a very convenient
side to a sandwich or whatever.
