Split Pea Soup-- No Reason To Fear

I have often swapped recipes with friends over email. I LOVE doing this especially since you wind up with some serious keepers like this very satisfying and family friendly meal. Thanks Miranda for sharing your good with us!

Split Pea Soup

1 small onion, chopped
1 Tb veg oil
4 c water
1 can chx broth
1 1/2 cups dried split peas, rinsed
1 cup fully cooked ham, diced
3 bay leaves
11/2 t salt
1/2 t dried rosemary
1/4 t thyme
1/4 t pepper

In big pot, saute onion until tender but not brown. Add remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and cover pot. Simmer for an hour or more until peas are tender. Discard bay leaves. Serve with bread for dipping in this warm and savory soup. Can also be doubled for bigger families like ours.
