Ingredients

1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 cup chopped onion
1 pound dried split peas
1 pound ham bone
1 pinch salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Heat oil in a medium pot, then add onions and sauté until tender. Stir in split peas, ham bone, and enough water to cover all ingredients. Season generously with salt and pepper.
Cover the pot and cook for approximately 2 hours, or until the peas have completely broken down into a smooth, green liquid. During cooking, check the water level and add more as needed to maintain desired consistency.
Once the soup is a smooth green liquid, remove it from heat and allow it to stand, so that it will thicken. Once thickened, reheat gently before serving.
