Directions:
In a large stock pot, add split peas, vegetables, thyme, bay leaf, and chicken stock.
Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and let simmer partially covered, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are tender, the peas have broken down, and the soup has thickened ( approx. 2.5-3 hrs).
Add ham and cook until it is warmed right through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Personal Notes:
The soup thickens when stored in the refrigerator. When reheating add more chicken broth to thin it out.

Freezes well.
