The broth cooks the split peas, chopped celery onions and carrot all
at the same time. I probably add diced potatoes as well.. That's the
way mother made it. When I bake or smoke a ham I save all the
drippings and freeze just so that I have it for when I want to make
lentil or split pea soup. If I'm making a chowder I will cook up
bacon special for flavoring a chowder.

When I make split pea soup I simply simmer the smoked ham hock along
with the peas.

If you're going to put a dead animal in your soup, shouldn't you at
least name the soup after the animal? It's not pea soup, it's pork
soup, which happens to have peas added.

Same here, no need to cook it separate that I can see.
