  • Step 1/7

    Place split peas, ham bone (with leftover meat on it), onion, celery, carrots, garlic, thyme, basil, bay leaves, cayenne and water or broth in a large heavy pot.

  • Step 2/7

    Bring to a boil skimming off any foam with a spoon.

  • Step 3/7

    Reduce heat to simmer and place a lid on your pot.

  • Step 4/7

    Make sure the lid is slightly ajar to allow a little steam to escape. Stir occasionally.

  • Step 5/7

    When peas are soft and soup is thick, about 2-1/2 hours, remove from heat.

  • Step 6/7

    Remove ham bone from the soup; strip any meat from bone, chop it and return to the soup. Discard bone.

  • Step 7/7

    Enjoy ~
