Vegetarian Split Pea Soup

Our family loves to have home made soup. The problem is so many use a meat based stock for flavor. Our family has always loved Split Pea Soup made with a ham bone, especially after Easter. I have tried this recipe a couple of times and each time the soup get devoured and no one is asking where's the ham? So, once again I offer a recipe that traditionally has meat in it that taste just as good if not better than the original.

VEGETARIAN SPLIT PEA SOUP

16 ounces dry split peas
2 each carrots, peeled and sliced
3 stalks celery, diced
1 medium onion, chopped
7 cups vegetable stock
2 each bay leaves
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1. Combine the ingredients in a large stock pot.
2. Simmer for at least one hour.
3. Serve with a great bread and enjoy!

This is an easy and great tasting soup for the whole family. Porky Pig gives it 5 out of 5 curly tails!!!!
