Crock Pot Curried Split Pea Soup image

I've been meaning to add my recipe for pea soup for a long time. This is kind of a two for one soup; The first night you have it, it is a thin-ish soup and in the subsequent days it is more like a stew; or maybe wallpaper paste like my husband calls it! He had three BIG bowls tonight so I know it was a good one. I hope you try...

Time 3h50m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 bag(s) split peas, green, yellow or combination
1 qt chicken stock, home made is ideal
left over ham bone
1 c chopped celery with some leaves
4 large carrots, peeled and sliced
1 large red or gold potato, cubed
1 large yellow or red onion, chopped
2 bay leaves
1 Tbsp +/- curry powder
1 Tbsp +/- cumin
3 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp pepper
bacon infused olive oil for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. If you want to go through the process of sauteing The veggies and garlic in a little olive oil have at it! I have found that it doesnt add that much extra to this soup, dirties more dishes and takes up my limited time.
  • 2. Turn your crock pot on high and add the ham bone and chicken stock.
  • 3. Add the veggies as you cut them up then give the pot a stir.
  • 4. Add seasonings to the pot and stir again.
  • 5. If the liquid isnt up over the vegetables you will need to add water or more stock. I usually cook my stock down so its pretty concentrated so I just add water to cover.
  • 6. Cook on high for three and a half hours or on low for seven. You can remove the bone and scrape the meat off or just give the soup a vigorous stir so the meat falls off the bones. I dont bother taking the bones out until I store the soup for the night.
  • 7. Serve with a drizzle of bacon infused olive oil...YUM!
