An extremely healthy soup, full of flavor!
Ingredients
  • 1 package dried green split peas, rinsed, pick out anything that doesn't belong
  • 2 cups diced ham
  • 1 cup chopped carrots
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 2 ribs celery, chopped
  • 2 tsp garlic
  • 1 bay leaf
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 6 cups chicken broth
Instructions
  1. Add your rinsed split peas to the crockpot.
  2. Dice your ham and add it to the crockpot.
  3. Quickly throw all your veggies into a food processor and pulse until they are the size that you would like. I like mine chopped pretty fine... pea sized, if you will! Add veggies to the crockpot as well.
  4. Add the seasoning, garlic and bay leaf and just a little salt and pepper, as well as the broth to the crockpot. You don't want to add too much salt because the ham adds a lot of salty flavor. You'll season to taste at the end.
  5. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours.
  6. Make sure to taste before serving and add additional salt and pepper if you need to!
