Ingredients
- 20 ounces dried split peas green or yellow, *see note
- 5 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups water *see note
- 1 meaty ham bone or 2 cups leftover ham
- 3 ribs celery diced
- 2 large carrots diced
- 1 large onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 bay leaf
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Rinse peas and drain well.
- Combine all ingredients except parsley in a 6qt slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours* or on low 8 hours.
- Discard bay leaf. Stir in parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
- If cooking for 4 hours on high in the Crockpot, soak peas overnight in clean water. Drain & rinse before using.
- I use Hurst HamPeas Split Peas in this recipe which comes in a 20 oz package. If using a different brand, check the package size. If it contains only 16 oz (1 pound), do not add the additional 2 cups of water.
- Reduce the liquid slightly for a thicker soup.
- No need to soak the green peas if they are slow cooking for more than 4 hours!
- For best results, keep the bone or ham hock in until the soup is finished.
- The peas will break down and naturally thicken the soup.
- Thin split pea soup by stirring in extra chicken broth, and to thicken it allow it to cook with the lid off for about 1 hour.
