Canadian Yellow Split Pea Soup with Ham

Canadian Yellow Split Pea Soup with Ham

Creamy yellow split pea soup studded with bits of ham, carrots, celery, and thyme. There is nothing like this one on a cold day! I am a Canadian now living in the United States. and cannot get Habitant soup anymore, so I came up with this version. I think it is as good as the real thing, if not better, because it is homemade.
