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!

VEGETARIAN SLOW COOKER SPLIT PEA SOUP



Vegetarian Slow Cooker Split Pea Soup image

Got this recipe online a couple years ago. I've tweaked it a little bit and will probably continue to experiment by throwing other vegetables in. It's a great soup for a cold day when I know I won't have time to cook dinner. I usually make a batch and freeze what we don't eat. It tastes the same when reheated after the freezer, but the texture does change slightly. Lasts a few days in the fridge as well.

SUPER EASY SLOW COOKER SPLIT PEA AND HAM SOUP



Super Easy Slow Cooker Split Pea and Ham Soup image

This is the most incredibly easy and delicious split pea and ham soup recipe. It's also customizable, you could substitute sausage for the ham and still have a delicious soup!

Provided by nmsteen

Categories     Beans

Time 8h15m

Yield 12 cups, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 ounces dried split peas, rinsed
3 cups ham, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1/2 large onion, diced
1 bay leaf
2 stalks celery
1 medium carrot
2 garlic cloves
1 liter chicken stock
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
water

Steps:

  • My slowcooker holds about 12 cups, so adjust the recipe as necessary for the size of your slowcooker. First, rinse the peas. My grocery store sells the peas in 16 oz bags, so I use about half a bag and a little. I simply rinse them by pouring them into a strainer and running them under cold water for a few seconds while I shake. Place the rinsed peas on the bottom layer of the slow cooker. Then dice the ham, and place on the peas. Same with the onion, and add the bay leaf. Here's the secret. Shred the celery and carrot. This will result in a smooth and delicious soup. Once shredded, add to the slowcooker. Chop the garlic, add and then add the salt and pepper (as the soup cooks you can always add more to taste. Finally, add the chicken stock, and then fill the rest of the slowcooker with water until you are about 1/2 inch from the top.
  • My slow cooker has 3 setting, high, low and auto. I cook this soup on high for 3 hours, then switch to low for another 5. Frankly I don't trust my slow cookers auto setting. I mean, really? How does it know how I want my soup cooked? This recipe will make a very thick soup, which is how I like it. If you like a thinner soup, then add less peas. What I do is make the thick soup, and when I reheat it I add water to thin it out.

THAI TWIST SLOW COOKER VEGETARIAN SPLIT PEA SOUP



Thai Twist Slow Cooker Vegetarian Split Pea Soup image

Some days you just need a slow cooker meal...! Love soups and was looking for something a little different. If you have an open jar or packet of thai curry paste in your fridge, and you like the flavour of it, this is another way to enjoy it. Most of the items are pantry staples, which is how this came to be, and it's fairly low calorie/low fat. I made it to fit a small crock pot (2.5 Q I think)....yields enough for 2 good sized portions. If you use a larger crock pot you would probably have to double the recipe. Some flat bread on the side makes it a meal.

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 onion, diced
1 stalk celery, diced
1 carrot, diced
1/2 cup split peas, green, dried
1/4 cup pearl barley
1/4 cup red lentil, dried
2 teaspoons Braggs liquid aminos
1 teaspoon garlic, minced, use fresh or garlic powder, it won't matter much
2 teaspoons Thai curry paste
2 cups vegetable stock, or use 1 bouillon cube or equivelant stock powder
1 cup water
1 teaspoon vinegar
1 teaspoon dried fenugreek leaves
1 bay leaf
