Pick and clean the split peas. Peal the carrots; cut them in thin strips

lengthwise, then cut them across to dice about 1/4 inch in size. Wash the

celery stalks. Cut them just like you did the carrots. Do the same to the

potato. Dice the ham in half inch cubes.

In a large pot bring the water to a boil. Add the remaining ingredients.

Bring again to a boil, then lower to simmer. Simmer until the desire

doneness of the split peas is achieved. Some people prefer them puree others

with a little more consistency to them. I like them "lumpy" and tender but not puree.
