I have no explanation for my love of this soup. Split pea soup LOOKS horrible. But the taste is somehow ridiculously addicting and I can't seem to get enough. And this is super easy to make. I encourage you to try it before soup season leaves us completely!
Slow Cooker Split Pea Soup
(Adapted from Allrecipes.com)
16 oz. dried split peas
2 c. diced fully cooked ham
1 c. diced carrots
1 medium onion diced
1 1/2 c. diced peeled potatoes
A hearty sprinkling of garlic powder
1/2 tsp. salt (I use a bit more)
1/4 tsp. pepper
5 1/2 - 6 cups boiling water
3 tsp. chicken broth granules
Layer the first 8 ingredients in your slow cooker. Pour the boiling water over the top and sprinkle in your chicken broth flavoring. DO NOT STIR. Set the slow cooker on high for 4 1/2 -5 hours (I think you could also do 8 hours on low). After the veggies are all soft & the peas turned to a green goop, stir it all up!
Serve with a bread of your choice. And a big glass of milk.
