Smoky Split Pea and Root Vegetable Soup image

wonderful split pea soup. not sure where the recipe came from, i have had it for years and subscribe to many cooking publications and own way too many cookbooks. i usually make it with a ham bone but is just as good with smoked turkey wings. when i really want to ham it up i brown a center cut slice in pan before i begin, remove from pan and cut into pieces and add last 30 minutes.
