Crockpot split pea soup

A family favorite of ours. It is great soup for a cold day.

So creamy & delicious. Can easily be made vegan and never lose a bit of flavor. One of my favorite foods.

It is cold here so warm soup is great! This hearty, healthy, easy to make dinner was a huge hit amongst my family of picky eaters! I thought I would share, hope those who try it enjoy it as much as we did! Please share your pix and tips!! :-)

My wife and I love Split Pea Soup. The weird thing is that I hate peas by themselves. I will systematically remove them from anything that has them. We took an old recipe that she has had for a while and converted it to the slow cooker.After a few tries and tweaks, we have worked out all the kinks and made a great soup. It is so good and it will thicken as time passes. It goes great with some rolls to dip into it. One of the best split pea soups that I have ever had. I am sure that this can be made into a vegan dish, by taking out the ham and replacing the chicken stock with vegetable. Worth the try.This is the prototypical slow cooker recipe. You just put all of the ingredients into the slow cooker, set the time, and forget about it for 8 hours. You can try to forget about it, but the smell will drive you crazy those 8 long hours. Be strong, the wait will be worth it.Enjoy!

Great comfort food for using up Easter dinner leftovers

Inspired by my grandmother who introduced me to this dish, I just added my own spin and now this is the favorite family recipe. Simple, easy and ready in 7 hours.

Better than can soup from the store. And better for you. Hubby and I love this. Great with crackers or homemade cornbread.

A favorite growing up... If you have a ham bone handy, throw it in, although I usually just use chopped ham...

This soup will warm you to the bones on cold and wet winter days. Set it to start cooking in the morning before leaving the house, and come home to a delicious meal that will satisfy even the biggest appetites.

Great on a cold night!
