Servings: persons

1 (12 ounce) bag split peas
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
2 large carrots, diced (or 3 medium)
1 (32 ounce) carton chicken stock, plus 2 cups water
1 ham bone, with plenty of meat left on it (or 2 cups diced ham)
2 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
salt and pepper, to taste

1
Put the peas into a strainer and rinse until the water coming out of the bottom is clear. Pick over to ensure that there are no twigs or small rocks in there.
2
Heat olive oil in a stock pot or dutch oven. Saute the onion and celery until soft, about 5 minutes.
3
Add the stock and water to the pot and bring to a boil. It's OK if the ratio isn't precise since cartons of stock seem to come in different sizes these days. Just make sure you have 6 cups of liquid in total.
4
Add ham bone, bay leaves, rosemary, and thyme. Partially cover and simmer for 1/2 hour.
5
Add carrots and diced ham (if you are using it). Partially cover and simmer for another 1/2 hour, or until peas are soft.
6
Add salt and pepper to taste.
