Easter has come and gone, but if you still have leftover ham, and better yet a ham bone, you can celebrate all over again by making a pot of Split Pea Soup. Even if you don't have a ham bone ...

Place a soup pot on the stove over medium/high heat. Add the olive oil and the pork sausage meat, breaking it up as it cooks to a golden-brown colour. Remove the pork from the pot and set aside.
