Split Pea Soup

Split Pea Soup
 

3 Tbs olive oil
1/2 c. diced onion
1/2 c. diced carrot
1/2 c. diced celery
1 lb green split peas examined, sorted and rinsed
8 c. water
1/2 smoked ham shank
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper

Place the first 4 ingredients into a soup pot on low heat, saute, while stirring often, until onions  just begin to brown.  Add the remaining ingredients all at once.  Simmer for 30 minutes.  Remove the ham shank from the soup to cutting board.  Remove bones, fat and skin.  Cut the meat into bite sized pieces and return to soup and serve.
