This is one of our favorites this time of year. It is so easy to make and have very minimal ingredients.
Split peas can be bought at any tim of year for about the same price. This mixed with Carrots and potatoes (both in season) and ham that was a bit we had left over. This can be made with or without the ham, the ham just adds a little flavor. If you don’t have the ham you can make it without and just use a bit more salt and pepper.
