MOM'S SOUTHERN STYLE SPLIT PEA SOUP
This soup's flavor is very different from your traditional pea soup. It is not sweet but has a spicy flavor very different from the 'savory' flavor of most pea soups. I love any pea soup but this one is the one I yearn for. Sometimes I add even more carrot if I think we need more carrots in our diet.

Steps:
- You may substitute a meaty hambone, diced smoked ham, cut up smoked pork butt, or, if like my husband prefers and no pork is allowed, use smoked turkey.
- Put all ingredients except salt into large heavy-bottomed stock pot.
- Cook over low-med. heat. Stir occasionally.
- Simmer until meat falls off bone and split peas have become mush. Be careful not to burn. Stir more often as soup thickens.
- Remove bone, bay leaves and spices.
- Puree and test for salt. Add salt if needed and cook an additional 15 minutes. Adjust water if necessary.
- The soup should be very thick. It becomes almost paste when cold. You may need to add some water to reheat.
- This soup freezes very well.
- If you leave out the cloves you won't have this special recipe. They are the secret ingredient.
- I'm guessing on servings and amount. it depends on how much you cook it down.
