Ingredients:  
2 (16 ounces) bags yellow split peas
1 Tbsp of oil
2 medium carrots and 2 celery stalks (diced)
2 medium potatoes (diced)
1 large onion (diced)
2 cloves of garlic minced or 1 teaspoon garlic powder (granulated)

Directions:
In a large pot, heat oil over medium-low heat; fry onions, potatoes, carrots, celery, garlic, bay leaves, salt, pepper and ham bone, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

Add chicken broth, peas and 2 cups of water; bring to boil over medium-high heat, skimming off any foam.

Reduce heat and simmer for about 2 to 3 hours, or until peas are pureed and slightly thickened. Remove ham bone from pot and remove any meat from the bone. Add the meat to the soup and discard the bone.

You can let it cool down; remove half of the soup and puree with a hand blender or you can use an immersion blender and blend soup to half chunky stage while still in the pot. Reheat and Serve with a crusty bread if desired.
