SPlit Pea Soup

2 Packages Dries Split Peas
1 lb chopped ham (Or using a ham bone during the holidays)
1 whole onion
1 smal package baby carrots
Seasonings (to taste) - Season-all, Garlic powder, seasoned pepper.

Soak peas overnight (you can soak them with or without the ham -- I soak with a Ham bone, but not when I just have chopped ham.)
Finely chop Onion and carrots
Combine peas, ham, Onion, Carrots with 12 cups water.
add seasonings to taste (you may wish to add salt to taste as the soup gets done)
Bring pot to a slow boil
Reduce heat to Medium (if you want soup done in 2 hrs) or Low if you wish to simmer it all morning/afternoon
Cook until pease are completely Mushy and the soup has a thick consistancy.

Serve with freshly baked Bread, crackers or my favorite German brotchen.
