My First Home Made Split Pea Soup

There’s a bit of a story here.
I loved my Grandmother’s split pea soup,. Hers was thick, she added chunks of ham or hot dog (?), and also made included small soft dumplings.
The year I moved to Arizona, I write her a letter (IN THE MAIL) about how much I missed her soup. A few weeks later a package arrived- she had sent her old soup pot, the recipe, and a package of of the Manischewitz mix she used as a base..
I lost the recipe, or cannot locate it. The pot is long gone, lost in the shuffles or moving and marriage and divorce. I am not even sure I tried the recipe.
I miss my grandmother dearly, and her soup, so I gave it my best effort today using the ham bone from what I cooked yesterday.
The soup is good…but it’s not my grandmothers.
