Peas Soup

Yesterday was the first frost in South Carolina for this fall.
When I get up in the morning temperature was 35F.
This is just the right time for soups.

This is the one I make today for dinner.

1 package 20 oz green split peas.
10 cups of water
1 medium onion chopped
1 large carrot chopped
4 tablespoons olive oil (butter)
2/3 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper 
1 teaspoon dry dill
5-6 garlic
1/2 pound ham  (optional)


In medium crock pot add all ingredients and set the pot at medium and cook for 5-6 hours.

Serve hot.
