Equipment

  • 1 Slow cooker

Ingredients
 
 

  • 16 ounces split peas, dried green, rinsed
  • 1 ham bone
  • 2 cups diced ham
  • 3 carrots, chopped fine
  • 1 sweet onion, large, chopped
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 to 6 cups chicken stock, enough to cover
  • 1 cup cream, optional - to blend in when pureed

Instructions
 

  • Mix all ingredients except the ham and cream in a slow cooker. Press the ham bone down into the mix. Add the diced ham on top. Add the liquid to cover. DO NOT STIR.
  • Cover and cook on low 8 to 10 hours until the peas are very soft and the ham falls off bone.
  • Remove the diced ham with a slotted spoon. Remove the ham from the bones and removes the bone and bay leaf from the mix. Chop the remaining ham.
  • *Note: Non-pureed results look weird & low in pot - not to worry, fully finished the crock is full. Pureeing is optional though. The images above and below show the soup unpureed.
  • Puree the soup in batches and return to the crock pot. Stir in the cream & water to the desired thickness - add a lot! Return diced ham to the puree.
