    This is a classic recipe for split pea soup you can make with ease in your slow cooker. The only preparation required is to dice up the onion, carrots, celery, and mince some garlic. Toss it in a slow cooker along with a bag of dry split peas, some vegetable broth, a little thyme and let the slow cooker do it’s magic. You won’t believe the final result.

    I’ve always loved a good hearty bowl of split pea soup. And usually, i’ve found the best at restaurants and diners that make their own from scratch. When split pea soup is served from a can or some other processed mush from a fast food restaurant, it just cannot compare to the real thing. That’s why I love making this recipe – it’s the real deal.

    Split pea soup can’t just be mushy green stuff. It has to have some hearty substance and by using fresh carrots, celery and onion, along with diced ham – well now we have something to talk about. And what I love is that the consistency of this recipe is as close to perfect as you can get.

    Give this recipe a try. I’m sure you’ll love it!

      I made this pea soup a few weeks ago. It was so good I made it again today. I’ve made a lot of pea soups but this recipe was the absolute best. It may be because I actually use a ham bone left over from a roast instead of buying an 8 oz precut bag of ham. I’m not sure but it was the best.

      It came out fine. I think I will add more meat next time, and a bit more onion for flavor.

      Do I need to soak the split peas overnight before use in this soup?
