I have been making this wonderful Slow Cooker Split Pea Soup recipe for more than 25 years. I really don’t think I make it often enough!
This is one of those soups that you can make vegetarian or vegan, or load up on the meat! It’s delicious either way.
Slow cookers are wonderful things! Cooking your meal on a low heat inside a crock allows a nice tender result, the split peas break down perfectly.
The even cooking from the thick crock ensures you wont get a burned meal with such a long cook time.
This is a great meal to toss together before you leave for the day. Maybe prep the veggies the night before so you can just add all of the ingredients to the crock in the morning and set it to Low.
It can cook for 8 to 10 hours no problem. Just add about 1/2 cup extra of chicken broth or water to ensure it doesn’t get too thick.
This crock pot split pea soup recipe is very budget friendly. If you have a leftover meaty ham bone, or some bacon, that will work well for the meat portion. You can also use a ham hock.
If you want to keep it a vegetarian split pea soup, you can add a little liquid smoke to get that nice smoky hint of flavor.
A 1 pound bag of split peas costs less than $2 in my neck of the woods, and carrots, onion, celery, and garlic are pretty inexpensive, too.
This Slow Cooker Split Pea Soup recipe makes about 8 to 10 servings, and with a chunk of buttered crusty bread, you have yourself a nice, economical meal!
