CROCK POT SPLIT PEA SOUP

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Layer the ingredients in a slow cooker in the order given-split peas, ham, carrots, onion, celery, garlic, bay leaf, parsley, pepper, and salt; add the water or stock. Do not stir the ingredients.
• Cover and cook on high for 4 to 5 hours or on low for 8 to 10 hours until peas are very soft and the ham falls off the bone.

• Before serving, mash the peas slightly to thicken the soup or blend the soup in batches for a smoother texture (safety tips below).

CROCKPOT SPLIT PEA SOUP

Steps:

• Spray a 4 to 6 quart slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.
• Combine ham, split peas, onion, garlic, celery, celery leaves, carrots, parsley, thyme, pepper, salt, chicken broth, and water in the prepared crock pot and stir to combine.
• Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 10 to 12 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours. Just before serving use a potato masher to mash some of the peas in the soup for a thicker consistency if desired. Note: Split peas should soften just fine in this amount of cooking time. They do not need presoaking. If your split peas are hard after this length of cooking time, there is something wrong with the peas or with your water. If the peas are very old and dried out, they won't soften. And if the water you use for making the soup is hard with lots of dissolved minerals that can stop the peas from softening. Use bottled water if that is the case.
