Split pea soup is a comfort foot that sticks to your ribs, and this traditional recipe will serve it up just like your mom always made it…with the convenience of a slow cooker. For a vegetarian option, substitute low-sodium vegetable broth for part or all of the water and omit the ham bone.
Ingredients
- 1 (16 oz.) pkg. of dried green split peas, rinsed
- 1 meaty ham bone (equivalent to about 2 cups of ham)
- 3 carrots, peeled and sliced
- ½ cup chopped onion
- 2 celery stalks plus leaves, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 bay leaf
- ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped (2 tsp. parsley flakes)
- ½ tsp. fresh pepper
- 1½ quarts hot water
Directions
- Combine all ingredients in a slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on HIGH for 4-5 hours or on LOW for 8-10 hours, until peas are very soft and ham falls off the bone.
- Removed bones and bay leaf. If desired, mash peas.
