Recipe video above. This is a fabulous "throw it all in the slow cooker" soup. There's no need to cook the onion separately - it "sautés" itself in the fat from the ham that rises to the surface. Thick, hearty soup broth infused with incredible flavour from the ham! Use leftover ham bone, or purchase a ham hock.

Instructions
Place peas in slow cooker, push ham in. Scatter all ingredients around the ham bone, then pour over water.
500 g Dried Split Peas (Note 1)1.2 - 1.5 kg Ham Hock (aka Ham Bone), Bacon Hock Or MEATY Leftover Ham Bone (Note 2)0.25 tsp Salt (start with less, adjust later)0.75 tsp Black Pepper 2 Garlic Cloves minced2 Bay Leaves dried or fresh1 Onion finely chopped1 Carrot peeled and finely chopped2 Celery Sticks finely chopped2 litres Water
Slow cook 8 to 10 hours on LOW or 6 hours on HIGH. (Or 2.5 hours on low on stove, 1 h - 1 hr 20 min pressure cooker/Instant Pot on HIGH)
Remove ham bone, shred ham meat. Discard bone and fatty skin.
1.2 - 1.5 kg Ham Hock (aka Ham Bone), Bacon Hock Or MEATY Leftover Ham Bone (Note 2)
Remove bay leaves. Use a stick blender to blitz 2 or 3 times - thickens soup but doesn't make it completely smooth (my preference, you can blend completely if you want).
2 Bay Leaves dried or fresh
Return ham into slow cooker, stir. Taste and add more salt if needed (soup gets lots of salt from ham).
1.2 - 1.5 kg Ham Hock (aka Ham Bone), Bacon Hock Or MEATY Leftover Ham Bone (Note 2)0.25 tsp Salt (start with less, adjust later)
Serve garnished with parsley. Serve with crusty bread for dunking - make a quick Irish Soda Bread, Garlic Bread or upgrade to Cheesy Garlic Bread!
