Split Pea Soup (Crock Pot) - Dairy Free
Very little prep, just layer in crock pot/slow cooker, leave it for the day and a filling, delicious soup will be ready for dinner.
This recipe is a very versatile base split pea soup. For a Vegan option, omit the meat. I have made this recipe using ham, ham hock, and bacon. I have used veggie broth, chicken broth and water... each tasting different but yummy! I have reduced the salt but have not adjusted the recipe as written. This soup is even better the next day, it freezes well. This tends to be a thicker soup (especially once it has cooled) so adjust liquid after cooking to desired thickness.

Very good soup! I made this when my in-laws visited (6 adults) and they all enjoyed the soup! A few things to note for people concerned about the thickness of the soup. After the peas are soft enough to your liking, turn off crock pot, leave open about 15-20mins. Soup will thicken upon standing. If you keep cooking the coup after the peas are soft the soup will darken. There are a few comments about the soup being dark, this is because it was over cooked. Only changes I made was using an extra carrot and stalk of celery. Next time I will use a couple more carrots per personal taste (we love carrots in our soup!). Thank you for a great recipe! -
Delicious! Make sure to heat up the broth first as written. I did not do this and although the soup was quite delicious my peas were too firm. Oops. Next time I will follow the directions to the letter.

Followed this exactly, and let me tell you, what a soup! This was terrific, and you have the reviews to prove it too! I also used left-over spiral ham ~ with large ham bone. I almost didn't even need anything else but the bone, ham, and peas. This is a real gem, and you should try it! Made for Diabetic Healthy Month! 2012

Terrific soup. Just terrific. I didn't have any ham in the freezer, but did put a nice big pork shoulder bone in the pot so got some great flavor from that. I like nice thick pea soup so I only used a quart of water, and I cooked it on high until the peas disintegrated. Absolute perfection. I'm looking forward to taking it for lunches this week. Thanks a mil.

Would it be possible to minimize the printed product. I was going to print this recipe but it stretched out to three pages with the 'nutritional Info' on page two. I did a cut and paste on to MS Word and got it down to 1/2 a page. Save paper and condense.
