Split Pea Soup Mix

Thompson's Farm Split Pea Soup mix is a hearty and italian soup that is great with buttered bread! This soup can be made on the stove top or in your trusty slow cooker. Just add 8 cups of water and 1 ham bone (or 1/2 pound lean diced ham). Rinse peas. Add water, ham bone and soup mix and heat to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer one hour or until peas are done. Remove ham bone and add diced lean ham to soup. Heat through. Remove bay leaf before serving. Add salt and pepper to taste.
