Split Pea Soup

Split pea is my favorite soup but I hadn't ever made it so when I got a ham bone from a co-worker I figured I'd give it a shot.  It turned out so well & was super easy!

Ingredients:
1 package of split green peas
1 potato (diced)
3 (skinny) carrots (diced)
2 stalks of celery (diced)
7 cups of water
1 ham bone
1/2 onion (diced)
1 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of pepper
A bit of a few other seasonings (paprika, chili powder, marjoram, garlic powder)

Place the onions, potatoes, carrots, celery & seasonings into a crock pot.

Rinse the green peas.  Add the 7 cups of water & the rinsed green peas to the crock pot & mix together.  Add the ham bone.  Cover & cook on low for 8ish hours.

Take the ham bone out & use two forks to shred the meat.  Add it back to the pot, stir & serve.  We ate it with pumpernickel bread & a caprese salad... in seasonally appropriate dishes :)

Enjoy!
