For some strange reason I have always LOVED split pea soup!. With carrots and onions it has such a wonderful, rich flavor. It is a great comfort food that I don’t get often enough (my children are not fans because it is green). The barley adds a kind of nutty texture that I really liked. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

1 cup dry split green peas
½ cup medium pearl barley ( not quick-cooking barley )
2 cups ham ( small cubes )
¾ cup carrots ( chopped )
¾ cup onion ( chopped )
¾ cup celery ( chopped )
5 cups water
2 tsp. chicken bouillon
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. pepper
1 bay leaf

Combine the water, bouillon and spices and whisk to combine and set aside. In a 12\\\" Dutch oven, layer peas, barley, ham, carrots, onion and celery. Do not mix. Pour in the water/spices mixture. Don’t...
