3 stalks celery, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped

Rinse and sort peas. (Optional: Soak beans using your preferred method.)
Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add smoked ham; sauté 5 minutes or until browned. Add onions, celery, garlic and tomato paste; sauté 15 minutes. Add water or broth and bay leaves; bring to a boil.
