Here is how you make Mom's Split Pea Soup:

Mix all ingredients except the ham in a large pot, cover and cook slowly for one hour. Using a potato masher smash soup into a smooth blend. May take more than an hour because you want all the veggies to be soft. When soup is smooth and ham and cook about 5 minutes more. You can leave out the ham to make it vegetarian. And add more water if you like it thinner. Each serving should be about 1/8 of recipe, which should be about 1 1/2 cups or more.Number of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user JOELSANGEL.
