Crock Pot Split Pea and Lentil Soup image

For a truly vegetarian soup, substitute vegetable bouillon for the chicken soup base. This recipe almost overflowed my 4-quart crockpot, you might want to halve the ingredients. I cooked it on high for the entire 8 hours because it was so full, but if you halve it, cooking it on low for the same amount of time will work fine.

1 (16 ounce) package dried split peas
1 (16 ounce) package dried lentils
12 cups water
12 teaspoons chicken soup base
4 carrots, chopped

fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Dump it all in the crock pot.
  • Cook on high for 8 hours or until beans are soft.
  • If you like it creamy, puree some or all of it with an immersion (hand held stick) blender.

  • Serve with crispy French or Italian bread.
