Method:Wash and drain the split peas. Place the split peas and all the other ingredients in a large pan. Bring to the boil and cook gently for 1 and 1/2 hours until the soup is thick. Occasionally skim the surface to remove any foamy residues that form. Remove hock and the bay leaves from the pan. Discard the bay leaves. When the hock is cool remove its fat and bones. Chop the hock meat and return it to the pan. Re heat the soup and check to see if it requires any salt. Most usually the salt in the hock is sufficient.
