SPLIT PEA SOUP WITH HAM
I came up with this when I was craving split pea soup and there was no hambone in the freezer. With both bacon and ham steak, I don't think it requires salt. Be sure to add the hot sauce to your bowl...the heat and vinegar mellows the soup.

Steps:
- Fry the bacon in your soup pot and reserve for garnish.
- Add the olive oil to the rendered bacon fat.
- Add chopped onions and carrots. Cook & stir for 10-15 minutes.
- Push to one side of the pot to make a hot spot.
- Drop the red pepper flakes and garlic into the spot.
- Cook the garlic/pepper a minute in that spot.until golden.
- Add the bay leaf, split peas, ham, broth, water and bring to a boil.
- Cover the soup and let it simmer for 60 minutes.
- Remove the bay leaf and add the half and half.
- The peas, onions and carrots should cooked enough to make the soup thick and vegetables indistinct, if not - use a hand blender -- but you'll lose the lovely ham cubes if you're too vigorous.
- Serve with reserved bacon and hot sauce dribbled on top.
