Notes
You can use yellow split peas if you would like although green is what is traditionally used.Use a ham bone instead of the diced ham. Carefully remove the bone and cut the meat off the bone. Return the meat to the pot (after blending if you choose to do so).If you can’t find celery root, you can substitute an equal amount of celery, potato, parsnips, or turnips.
