INGREDIENTS

1 (16 -20 ounce) package dried split peas, green, rinsed 8 cups water 2 medium potatoes, peeled, cubed 2 medium onions, peeled and chopped 2 large carrots, peeled and chopped 2 stalks celery, washed and chopped 2 cups cooked ham, trimmed of fat, diced 4 -5 teaspoons chicken bouillon powder or 4 chicken bouillon cubes 1 teaspoon dried marjoram 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning 1 teaspoon dried sage 1?2 teaspoon dried basil 1?2 teaspoon ground black pepper, to taste 1?4 - 1?2 teaspoon salt, to taste (optional)

DIRECTIONS

Chop veggies and meat, then combine everything in a large stockpot -- going VERY EASY on the salt as your ham and bouillon might be salty enough already (you will test and add more later if needed). Stir, then bring to a boil over high heat. Don't walk away from the pot.as soon as it comes to a boil,stir, then lower the heat to low and drop a lid on the pot, venting just a bit for a few minutes so you don't have a boilover. As soon as the temperature drops enough to avoid a boilover (a few minutes), go ahead and let the lid sit fully on top of the pan. Let cook on low, covered, for about 1 1/2 hours,stirring once or twice, until all veggies are tender. Give the finished soup a taste test and adjust salt and other seasonings as needed.
