Steps:
- In a large sauce pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the celery, garlic, parsnip and onion, and saute for 15 minutes to build flavor, seasoning with salt and pepper as you go. Add the oregano, thyme and bay leaf, and cook on low for 3 more minutes. Turn the burner off and add the bourbon, return to the heat and reduce for 3 minutes. Add the split peas, ham and stock. Remember to season lightly as you cook. Cook until the peas are tender and the soup has reduced to the desired consistency, about 1 hour. Pull the ham piece and herbs from the pot and, using an immersion blender, blend the soup until mostly smooth. Cut the ham into 1/2-inch pieces and add back to the pot. Serve with the toasted baguette.

SMOKY SPLIT PEA SOUP
Split pea soup recipes are often flavored with ham hocks, but this veg version gets its smoky taste from smoked paprika and chipotle chiles. Sweet potatoes and split peas are good sources of potassium, which lowers blood pressure. If split peas are old(after about 1-2 years) they will not get tender, so check the date. Adapted from Vegetarian Times magazine(Feb. 2010).

Steps:
- Soak split peas in large bowl of cold water overnight(some reviewers said they boiled the peas for 30 or 40 minutes rather than soaking and it worked fine).
- Heat oil in 3-qt. saucepan over medium heat. Add paprika, chipotle, and cumin if using, and stir. Add sweet potato(or squash), onions, and celery, and season with salt and pepper, if desired. Cover, and cook 10 minutes, or until onions are soft and translucent. Add garlic, and sauté 2 minutes.
- Drain split peas, and add to pot with 6 cups water(I use about 4 cups vegetable stock and 2 cups water). Bring soup to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 1 hour. Add tomatoes, and cook 30 minutes more, or until split peas are tender.
SMOKY SPLIT PEA AND ROOT VEGETABLE SOUP
wonderful split pea soup. not sure where the recipe came from, i have had it for years and subscribe to many cooking publications and own way too many cookbooks. i usually make it with a ham bone but is just as good with smoked turkey wings. when i really want to ham it up i brown a center cut slice in pan before i begin, remove from pan and cut into pieces and add last 30 minutes.

- Soak the split peas before cooking. This will help them to cook more evenly and quickly. If you don't have time to soak the peas, you can add an extra 30 minutes to the cooking time.
- Use a good quality smoked ham hock. This will give your soup a rich, smoky flavor. If you can't find a smoked ham hock, you can use a regular ham hock and add a few drops of liquid smoke to the soup.
- Add plenty of vegetables. This will make your soup more nutritious and flavorful. You can use any vegetables you like, but some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and leeks.
- Season the soup well. Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or cumin.
