Split Pea,ham and Bacon Soup created by Peace

This soup is great any time of year. I wanted to try and make it lower in fat and cholesterol,and I believe I have done it with this recipe. There are two ways to make this recipe. I have done both and prefer to add the extra 4 cups of water.

This is how I make it with the extra 4 cups of water.
Saute onion and garlic until tender.
Brown bacon.
Mix all ingredients together including the last 4 cups of water.
Add Salt and Pepper to taste.
Bring to a full boil then reduce heat and simmer for about 3 hours (until about half of the peas are mush).
If you prefer you may also add 3 tablespoons of flour to adjust your thickness.
