Split Pea Soup

Quit wrinkling your nose. This is not like the slop they fed us in school.

2/3 c. dried split peas
2 1/2 c. water
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 c. chopped onion
1/3 c. chopped ham
additional salt and pepper to taste

Put water in a medium pot. Add split peas. Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer. Let simmer for half an hour to 45 minutes or until beginning to get tender. Add salt, onion, and ham. Simmer until desired thickness.

I know it isn’t much to look at, but give it a try.
