Chunky Split Pea Soup with Ham

This is my favorite pea soup recipe, so far. I found this on the food blog "Kahakai Kitchen" for Deb's weekly recipe roundup called "Souper Sundays". I made one adaptation by using my favorite spice blend "Old Bay Seasoning" instead of the paprika. The ham stock, and my homemade chicken stock, is what gave this soup such a terrific depth of flavor, and the Yukon Gold potatoes made this chunky soup such a hearty meal.

I served this with some homemade buttery rolls for a delicious meal.
