Directions:
1. Place the peas in a large saucepan; add enough water to cover them by 2 inches and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat, then cover and let soak 1 hour. Drain.

2. Heat a large nonstick saucepan or Dutch oven. Swirl in the oil, then add the carrots, onion, and celery. Sauté until wilted, about 5 minutes. Add the peas, broth, water, ham, and pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce the heat and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until the peas are tender, about 1 hour. Top with the cheese and serve immediately, or set aside to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate up to 3 days. Yields 1 cup per serving.
