Split Pea Soup

http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Best-Ever-Split-Pea/Detail.aspx

I added ~1 tsp oregano, ~3/4 lb chopped ham, 2 bay leaves. I used 3 large carrots, 5-6 stalks celery, and 2 onions. I cooked it for about 90 minutes after veggies were sauteed. I did not puree at all. DH and I prefer chunky soups and this was very good, especially considering my history of disliking most split pea soup.
