HAM AND SPLIT PEA SOUP

Christmas Eve dinner in our house is traditionally an orange glazed spiral cut ham with sweet potatoes and green beans. The ham makes great leftover sandwiches. When all the large slices are gone and you get close to the bone, all there’s left are small pieces of ham, that’s when I love to make my easy ham and split pea soup.

• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 4 medium carrots, peeled and diced small

• 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
