Name: Homemade Split Pea Soup with Ham

Okay I got a family of 6 I spent all my time and money I need ingredients for the soup. You did not specify how big a bag of split peas. You did not specify on how much broth. Or how much ham. I really hope I didn't waste my time and money because life is short and I love to feed the bellies in my family. I'll let you know what happens when it's all done. Good thing I have a passion for food and I'm pretty skilled in the kitchen even though I'm a contractor.

Split pea soup always reminds me of my mom's cooking. I wish I could make it as good as she can but this is my spin on her soup. Very thick soup.

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...

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!

So... we ate this Christmas ham and there was a lot of meat leftover. I couldn’t bare to watch it get thrown away so I took it home. Could have just made some ham and cheese sandwiches or ham and potato salad but there was a bag of split peas screaming to be cooked. Now... feel free to substitute any of the vegetables... they’re basically going to be disintegrated anyway. I used what I had on hand.

This is a very plain and very cheap soup recipe. The idea is that you can add whatever you have to make it better.
