Split Pea Soup
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ingredients
1 pound dried green split peas
6 cups water
4 cups chicken broth
1/4 pound smoked ham, diced
3/4 cup diced celery
1 onion, sliced
1-1/2 cups diced potatoes
1-1/2 cups diced carrots
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Combine peas and water. Bring to a boil and cook peas for 2 minutes. Remove from heat, cover and let stand for 1 hour. Add remaining ingredients, except potatoes and carrots. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and cover. Simmer for 1-1/2 hours. Add potatoes and carrots; cook for another 30 minutes or until vegetables are done. If soup gets too thick, add broth.
