My friend Mary gave me this recipe. It does not include exact times or yield. Again, prep/cook times are estimates. I haven't made it but I've tasted it! It is very tasty. This can probably be done in a crockpot.
Ingredients:
1 package split peas
1 onion
1 -2 large potato
1 ham
ham bone (ham hock or shank)
2 bay leaves
salt and pepper
Directions:
1. Rinse and soak peas overnight in cold water.
2. Pour off water+ place in large pot-cover with fresh water.
3. Add chopped onion, uncooked ham shank/hock, and bay leaves.
4. Bring to boil and cook until meat falls off bone-pull meat out.
5. Remove fat and discard bones; replace meat in pot.
6. Cut up carrots+ potatoes; cook until tender (~1hour).
7. Add to soup.
8. Remove bay leaves and serve.
