This Slow Cooker Split Pea Soup is absolutely wonderful and so easy! The consistency is perfect. I would have to say this is the best split pea soup I have ever had.
Great with left over spiral sliced ham and throw in the bone too.
Place the ingredients in the crock pot and head to work – yummy dinner will be ready and waiting for you.
This is a thick soup and will become thicker when cooled. However it’s easy to thin with extra water or broth near the end of cooking or when reheating. The only thing of concern is that if the soup is cooked to long it will come out dark.
