Check your peas for any foreign objects , Since they're going to cook about 8 hours, I don't soak over night, but I do rinse 'em. My choice. You do what you like.
Combine the peas, water and ham bone in soup pot. Cover and bring to a boil.
Add celery, onion and spices, simmer until peas have dissolved (that's about 8 hours)
ADD the carrots about 1 hour before serving. Remove bone and bay leaves.
