Personal Notes:
After preparing a ham dinner, boil the bones after removing all remaining meat. Make the broth and freeze it in zip lock bags. When you feel like having split pea soup (or navy bean soup), thaw and make this recipe. Norene made us lots of soups when we were children. This and Navy Bean Soup were two of my favorites. Use the same recipe to make Navy Bean Soup. She always added catsup to the Navy Bean Soup after spooning it into our bowls.
