2 cups split peas
2 quarts water
1 large onion, diced
2 medium potatoes, cubed
2 carrots, diced
3 celery stalks, sliced
1 cup diced lean ham
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/4 tsp. marjoram
1/4 tsp. thyme
Place all ingredients in a large pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer 2-3 hours, until peas are soft. If too much water evaporates while boiling, add more to desired consistency. For a smoother soup, put it in a food processor or blender after cooking.
