Ingredients:
1 (16-oz) package dried green split peas, rinsed*
1 meaty ham bone, 2 ham hocks or 2 cups diced ham
1 cup sliced baby carrots
1 cup chopped yellow onion
2 ribs celery plus leaves, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 bay leaf
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Salt and pepper to taste
6 cups chicken broth
Directions:
Layer ingredients in slow cooker in the order given, adding the broth last. Do not stir ingredients. Cover and cook on high 4—5 hours or on low 8—10 hours until peas are very soft and ham falls off the bone.
Amy by using ham hocks would the soup be greasy from the skin on the hocks?
Thanks Donna! Meant I agree with Robert! Nothing like homemade soup! So glad he’ll be making it now instead of buying it in a can!
Amy,
This sounds great… will give it a try. I think you read Roberts comment the wrong way. He said it was awesome and never again would he buy pea soup in a can
just got this done, except I added 1.5 cups of potatos. never again will I buy pea soap in a can. awsome and super easy.
I like the idea of adding potatoes. Come on Robert, there nothing like homemade soup! Plus you’ll have leftovers! Freezes great too! -Amy
