Split Pea Soup (Edit recipe)

My entire family loves this soup. It is a filling nutritious mix of vegetables and a dash of ham that provides some tasty protein. Split pea soup is very old school. It simmers on the stove and the entire house smells of onions, garlic and broth. Comfort food at its best. This recipe can easily be doubled and the extra stored in an air-tight container in the freezer for up to 2 months.
