Judy's Hearty Split Pea and Ham Soup image

This is my mom's recipe that she has been making since I was a kid. My husband never liked pea soup until he tried this one! My mom always makes it without the ham bone and just uses diced ham, but if you have bone in ham, you could put that in the soup while it's cooking. This hearty soup gets even tastier and thicker the next day when reheated. Goes great with crusty bread and butter!

I'm not a big fan of ham, so I used turkey bacon instead. It turned out great, and it's a healthier option.
