    Very well explained. Liked!

    However, what I do differently.

    No salt when boiling the ham – can always be added later.

    Once the ham is tender and removed… I run the broth through a siv and discard the veggies (they no longer have any flavour anyway). Refrigerate the broth to make it easier to skim fat. Add chicken stock and top off with skimmed broth and a little bit off the water that the peas soaked in. Add soaked peas and simmer until done. Smash some with ladle. Add diced ham and freshly chopped carrots and simmer until carrots are a perfect consistency. Taste off with salt and pepper. Refrigerate. Next day. Slowly heat up to eating temp (add a bit of chicken broth if too thick.). IMHO more flavour without the "dead/flavourless" veggies in there acting as a filler.

    Excellent👍
    Just made this from my New Years Day spiral ham. My house smells amazing! Beautiful touch with cheese crisps…May have to do that for Caesar salad.
    Thank you🤗

    I have enjoyed your great presentation, and I think that you are a very nice person! However, those parmesan crisps, did that come from the parmesan cheese? Where did that come? And you soak and cook the split peas first? Could you explain it clearly for me?

    This is about the 10th recipe I've viewed on YouTube because I'm about to make split pea with our leftover Xmas hambone and I found it to be the most helpful and civilized, by far. All thoughtfully, curated natural ingredients and the parmesan crisps at the end were the icing on the cake (or the garnish on the soup, if you will). Thank you!
