Split Pea and Ham Soup

Ingredients

• 1 cup chopped onion
• 2 carrots (diced)
• 3 T. summer Savory
• 2 pound dried split pea
• 6-8 quarts water
• 1 ham bone and ham
• salt and pepper to taste

Method

1. In a medium pot, saute onions. Remove from heat and add split peas, ham bone and chopped ham. Add water, and season with summer savory, and salt and pepper.
2. Cover, and cook until there are no peas left, just a green liquid, 2 hours. While it is cooking, check to see if water has evaporated. You may need to add more water as the soup continues to cook.
3. Once the soup is a green liquid remove from heat, and let stand so it will thicken. Once thickened you may need to heat through to serve.
