An unusual culinary goal

I am attempting to make enough pea soup to feed exactly four people, with no leftovers.
As dried peas appear to be directly descended from Napoleon (la soup du jour de gloire?) this is something of a challenge.
I think I've cracked it, though:
One small hambone or a handful of cooked, diced ham (omit if desired)
1 1/2 C dried green peas
2 medium carrots, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 3 C veggie broth
4 6 C water
1/4 C onion flakes
2 bay leaves
1 t Pepper
2 T Ozark seasoning
Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, stir every so often for 3 hours or until the peas are correctly mushed)
So far so good ...
ETA
Exactly four servings. Happy slurping has ensued.
