📝 Preparation Steps
1
Rinse the split peas and pick out any debris. Combine them with the water or broth in a heavy-bottomed pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer, covered, for about ⏱️ 1 hour until the peas are soft. Add water as needed to keep it from getting too thick or scorching.

(Optional) For a smooth soup, puree with an immersion blender or in a blender, then return it to the pot. Keep it thin enough to pour.

Peel and slice the carrots, and peel and chop the onion. Add them to the pot along with the ham, bay leaf, and allspice.
