Debbies Split Pea Soup Ingredients

8 c Water (2 quarts)	1 Ham bone (leftover)
1 c Chopped celery	2 c Ham, cooked & diced
1 c Chopped onion

Instructions for Debbies Split Pea Soup

Rinse peas, add to a 4 or 5-quart saucepan. Add water and bring to a boil. Boil gently for 2 minutes. Turn off heat; cover and let stand for 1 hour. After the hour is up, DO NOT DRAIN! Add the remaining ingredients, except the diced ham, to the pot. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer on low heat for about 3 hours or until peas are very soft and soup is of a creamy consistency. Remove bone and check for any stray bones or gristle in the pot. You can trim the meat from the bone and add to the soup (if it hasnt already fallen off the bone!) Add diced ham. Continue to heat until the diced ham is heated through and the soup is of the consistency you desire; add more water if too thick. Check seasonings and serve with toasted sourdough bread (yummy!) Note: We eat this soup as a main meal. It is very filling and wonderful on a cold night!
