Step by Step Method
Step 1
Rinse peas well in cold water and put in stockpot along with ham bone and water. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, cover and let sit for 1 hour. Meanwhile, dice vegetables.
Step 2
Return to a boil, add remaining ingredients, cover and reduce heat to low, cooking for 1 - 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.
Step 3
Remove ham bone and cut off any remaining ham and dice, along with leftover ham. Add to pot.
Step 4
Remove bay leaf and discard, taste and adjust seasonings. Cook a few more minutes so ham is heated through.
Step 5
Puree in blender, being careful to not overfill blender. You don't have to do this step, but it makes a lovely presentation.
