First, grab a large pot or slow cooker and add your bacon bones or ham hock. These will give your soup a rich and smoky flavor. 🥓🔥 Then, toss in the green split peas, diced carrot, onion, celery, and potato. These veggies will add a nice balance of flavors and textures. 🥕🧅🥔

Next, pour enough water into the pot to cover all the ingredients. This will help create a flavorful broth. Bring the pot to a simmer and let it cook for 2 hours or slow cook in low for 6 hrs or high for 4 hrs.⏲️🍲

After the time is up, carefully remove the bones or hock from the pot and shred all the delicious meat. Then, add the shredded meat back into the soup. 🐷✂️ To add some extra nutrients and vibrant color, toss in a bag of frozen spinach and let it heat until melted. 🍃💚

Finally, season your soup with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning according to your preference. Serve it hot, and get ready to enjoy a bowl of pure comfort! 😍🥣
