Old-Fashioned Split Pea Soup with Ham Bone image

Not only is this old-fashioned favorite a snap to make but it's economical, too. Carrots, celery and onion accent the subtle flavor of the split peas, while a ham bone adds a meaty touch to this hearty soup. It's sure to chase away autumn's chill. -Laurie Todd, Columbus, Mississippi

This soup was a bit too thick for my taste. I would recommend adding more water next time.

This soup was just okay. The flavor was a bit bland and the split peas were not cooked evenly.
