    Cook the Soup: Add the rinsed split peas, diced ham, and bay leaf to the pot. Pour in the chicken or vegetable stock. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 1 hour, or until the split peas are tender and the soup has thickened. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

    Sauté the Vegetables: In a large pot, heat the butter or olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and carrots, and cook until the onions are translucent and the carrots begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
