1. First, soak 1-pound whole or split peas in cold water overnight. 2. The peas will swell so make sure to more than cover them with water. 3. Rinse, drain, and pick over the peas before adding to soup pot along with ham bone with enough water to more than cover them. 4. Add the remaining ingredients. 5. Simmer covered for about 45 minutes on low to medium heat. 6. Check soup about every 15 minutes to make certain that it has enough water and also to stir to prevent burning. 7. Remove ham bone from pot. 8. Cut off the bone whatever meat still clings to it and add those pieces to the soup. 9. Serve. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
