Judy's Hearty Split Pea and Ham Soup image

This is my mom's recipe that she has been making since I was a kid. My husband never liked pea soup until he tried this one! My mom always makes it without the ham bone and just uses diced ham, but if you have bone in ham, you could put that in the soup while it's cooking. This hearty soup gets even tastier and thicker the next day when reheated. Goes great with crusty bread and butter!

This soup is amazing! I've made it several times and it's always a hit. It's so flavorful and hearty, and the ham adds a delicious smoky flavor. I usually add a bit more carrots and celery, and I also like to use a smoked ham hock instead of regular
