There are a couple of dishes in our family that just scream tradition, and Split Pea & Ham soup is one of them. This tradition is brought to you by my father-in-law – split pea soup is his THING and my husband grew up with him always making it with leftover holiday ham. We, unfortunately, didn’t get his version this year because of last-minute day-after-Christmas plans, but he DID send us home with a ton of leftover ham and I knew I had to create my own version.
