8 cups water

¼ teaspoon dried thyme leaves, crushed

½ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
-
1 cup chopped celery

Place the ham bone into the pot with the peas, and stir in onion, marjoram, thyme, garlic powder, and salt; bring to a boil over medium heat, reduce heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
