Have any good split pea soup recipes anyone?

INGREDIENTS


1 cup chopped onion


1 teaspoon vegetable oil


1 pound dried split peas


1 pound ham bone


salt and pepper to taste


DIRECTIONS


In a medium pot, saute onions in oil or bacon grease. Remove from heat and add split peas, ham bone or chopped ham. Add enough water to cover ingredients, and season with salt and pepper.


Cover, and cook until there are no peas left, just a green liquid, 2 hours. While it is cooking, check to see if water has evaporated. You may need to add more water as the soup continues to cook.


Once the soup is a green liquid remove from heat, and let stand so it will thicken. Once thickened you may need to heat through to serve.Have any good split pea soup recipes anyone?
I actually watched Alton Brown on his show, ';Good Eats'; and learned a lot about him making split pea, since I didn't try it but his approach to this recipe seems easy and delcious.
