SLOW COOKER SPLIT PEA AND HAM SOUP

Slow Cooker Split Pea and Ham Soup image

Easy and delicious! Very thick and hearty! Freezes well! (I always make a double batch and freeze 2/3.) Update: If you overcook, the soup will get even thicker than usual! and turn a little bit of an olive drab color--it will still taste good though!
