Ingredients

2 1/2 cups of yellow split peas

1 ham bone with meat

4 carrots, diced

1/2 large Spanish onion, diced

5 stalks of celery, diced

2 teaspoons dried thyme

1 bay leaf, optional

1 pinch ground black pepper, or to taste

8 cups water, or as needed

Place split peas, ham bone, carrots, onion, celery, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper into a large pot; pour in water.

Bring mixture to a boil and skim off any foam with a spoon.
