Yummy Split Pea Soup

Yummy Split Pea Soup
2 c dry split peas
1 c diced onions
1 c diced carrots
1 c diced potatoes
1 can chicken broth
6 cups water
1 ham hock or ham bone
1 TBSP minces garlic
1 TBSP garlic pepper
½ TBSP pepper Carrots, onion, and potatoes. Dice them all up and add to peas.

Also, add a ham hock, ham bone, or chunks of ham. 1 can of chicken broth, 6 cups of waterand the spices. Bring to a simmer. Simmer for anywhere from an hour to an hour and a half. When done remove the ham and dice it up put in a bowl and set aside. Add your soup to a blender and puree all the soup, being careful because it is hot. Don't burn yourself. Add soup back to the same pot you cooked soup in, add the ham, and heat back up to a simmer. Serve. I serve it with corn bread, honey plus a nice tall glass of milk! Enjoy!
