I was suprised at how well my family ate this the first time I made it. I am usually the only one eating peas around here, although the two babies seem to enjoy a few as well. The soup, on the other hand, was devoured by all!
dried green split peas
diced ham and/or ham bone
sliced carrots
chopped onion
2 ribs celery plus leaves, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 bay leaf
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
salt and pepper to taste
6 cups chicken broth
Method
Layer ingredients in slow cooker in the order given, adding the broth last.
Do not stir ingredients.
Cover and cook on high 4—5 hours or on low 8—10 hours until peas are very soft.
Some of my family prefer it to be pureed in the blender before I serve it.
The best part is that other than the ham/ham bone, it is all ingredients we normally have in the house. This makes it a perfect recipe for using and stretching that left-over ham from Thanksgiving!
