Split Pea Soup
Modified from Spruce Eats
***needs a crock pot***
1 (16 oz) pkg dried split peas
1 meaty ham bone (or 2 cups diced ham, but the ham bone is better)
3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
1/2 cups chopped onion
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 large bay leaf
2 tsp dried parsley
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tbsp talk
6 cups broth
Layer ingredients into crockpot in given order. Add in the stock. Do not stir the ingredients. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours until ham is falling off bone.
Remove heat from bone and chop if needed. Add meat back in. Find and remove bay leaf.
Mash peas if needed, but I never needed to.
Serves 8.
