SPLIT PEA SOUP
This is my version of an old classic. You can use either yellow or green split peas for this. I treat all dried beans the same, and many of you don't soak the split peas, but I always do and it softens them. My BF just loves this and I didn't make this for the longest time thinking he wouldn't like it.

Steps:
- 1. Cover split peas with twice their amount water, cover and let sit over night or several hours. Some folks don't soak them, and just start to cook them, I am just a creature of habit and have always done my dried beans this way. if you like you certainly can just start to cook them without soaking them.
- 2. To 4 cups softened beans, add 8 cups of water
- 3. Add your ham juice. Whenever I cook a ham without a glaze I save the juice, and freeze it for just t his purpose. i put it in a zip lock bag and lay it flat. When it freezes, it sit it upright like a book so it doesn't take up any room in my freezer.
- 4. Dice your onions, and carrots and add to pot.
- 5. Add your ham bone or ham hocks and seasonings to the pot and bring to a simmer.
- 6. Let soup simmer for 3 hours, and if needed for texture, use an immersian blender.
