Best Crockpot Split Pea Lentil And Barley Soup Aka Weight Watchers Recipes

SLOW COOKER SPLIT PEA AND LENTIL SOUP

Steps:

• Sauté the onions and garlic in the olive oil until they begin to turn brown and caramelize. Remove from heat. In a large slow cooker (where I'm from we call 'em crock pots-but that kind of sounds less appetizing, right?), combine the cooked onions and garlic, chopped carrot, chopped potatoes, split peas, lentils, bay leaf, oregano, cayenne and 7 cups of vegetable stock.
• Yep, you pretty much just dump it all in there and then set it to high for six hours. If you want to give it a creamier texture, you can blend it with an immersion blender or in batches in a good blender. Remove the bay leaf before you do this. Taste and add salt and pepper or even a bit more cayenne if you want more heat.
• I think this tastes even better the next day warmed up! It will get quite thick, so you can thin it out with more stock or water as you reheat it.
