For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon and ham and use vegetable broth. Add a teaspoon of smoked paprika to mimic the smoky flavor. If you like a bit of heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the skillet along with the seasonings. For a richer flavor, use ham hock instead of cubed ham. Simmer the ham hock with the peas, then remove it and shred the meat before adding it back to the skillet.
