Ham And Split Pea Soup
This is a dish I make with leftover ham bone. It is easy to make, flavorful and very much a comfort food, especially on cold days. This recipe is Not a "creamy" Ham and Split Pea Soup, it's more of a "chunky" soup with cubes of veggies and ham interspersed throughout, Goes well on its own or served with warm toasted bread.
