For a richer flavor, consider using smoked ham hock instead of a leftover ham bone. Soaking the split peas for a few hours before cooking can help them break down faster. If you don't have time to simmer the soup overnight, a minimum of 3-4 hours will still yield delicious results. Add a splash of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice at the end to brighten the flavors.
