Ingredients
~1.5kg ham hocks
500g green split peas (soaked overnight)
3 carrots, finely chopped
3 celery stalks, finely chopped (optional if you don't like celery!)
1 onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh herbs (thyme, parsley) or 2 tsps dried mixed herbs
Generous pinch each of salt and pepper

2. Cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 6-7 hours.

Notes
The soup will solidify when cool due to the gelatinous nature of the ham. This is a good thing and great for healing your gut.
