Slow Cooker Split Pea Soup

This is a great slow cooker soup for a rainy, lazy day.  Just throw a few ingredients in a slow cooker (less than five minutes of work), then turn it on and relax.  

Slow Cooker Split Pea Soup

Ingredients

• 1 onion, diced
• 2 stalks celery, diced
• 3 carrots, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, grated or diced
• 16 oz. dried split peas
• 6 cups stock
• 1 bay leaf and herbs to taste
• salt & pepper, to taste

Serves 3-4
Cook Time: 3-8 hours


Combine all ingredients in a large slow cooker and cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6-8 hours (low and slow recommended.)  The longer you cook this the more the split peas will break down, so keep an eye on them till they are the consistency you want (I like 8 hours where 2/3 are broken down and 1/3 still holds its shape).
