FRENCH CANADIAN PEA SOUP

(RECIPE POSTED BY CAROLE WESTLAKE)
(just like Habitat Pea Soup!) Great winter dish

1 Ham bone (I use the bone from a ham shank I cook the day before)
10-12 cups water
2 1/2 cups yellow dried split peas (rinsed)
1 c celery chopped
1-2 carrots peeled and sliced
1 med onion
pepper and parsley added before serving

Heat peas and water to boiling, add remaining ingredients and reduce heat to simmer for 2 1/2 - 3 hours. Remove bone, trim meat from bone and add to soup. Season to taste. Enjoy a nice thick soup with fresh french bread. A meal in itself!
