I love when we have a ham for one of the holiday dinners because I know I am going to make split pea with it afterwards.
Hope you enjoy a bowl of this wonderful soup.

How to Make Split Pea and Ham Soup with Croutons
- CROUTONS: Tear your bread into smaller pieces and coat with your oil and toss with hands. Now, add your seasonings of garlic powder and beau monde. If you don't have beau monde just add garlic salt. Add a little more oil if necessary to coat the bread pieces evenly as possible. Place in oven on some tin foil OR parchment paper at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes.
