Fall is Coming

When fall is in the air I start to crave more hearty foods. One of the first meals I always make when the weather turns is Ina's recipe for Parker's Split Pea Soup. I always get a thick slice of ham and cube it to make it even heartier. It's the lazy girl's ham hock (that would surely be even better though). I think I always add a little extra broth so it's not quite so thick. You can see it's still pretty thick.
