SLOW COOKER SPLIT PEA SOUP WITH BACON AND HASH BROWNS
I use bacon instead of ham and frozen hash brown potatoes in this pea soup. It's a good winter comfort food and smells wonderful while cooking. It freezes well, so when my husband and I are busy all day, its a quick dinner for us. I add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to spice it up a bit. You can also cook whole bacon strips in the microwave until lightly browned. Transfer to paper towels and let cool; crush or tear into small pieces.

Steps:
- Place all ingredients except for the sausage into your crock pot (put the peas on the bottom). The peas will grow some during cooking, so do not make more than 3/4 full to start with (ask me how I know). If you do not have bouquet garni, use your favorite blend of herbs for soup. Make sure the liquid at least covers the peas. 3 cups works in my oval pot, but it make take more in yours.
- Cook on LO for 4 to 6 hours, depending on crock pot. With my old crock pot, I could cook this for 8 hours on low, but with the new one it's closer to 6. This will also work on High for 2-3 hours.
- Place the sausage in for the last 20 minutes of cooking. Ideally, we grill the sausage and stir it in at the table, but in the real world, I've even microwaved the sausage and then stirred it in at the table.
- If you are serving a mixed crowd (some vegetarian, some not) make this with the vegetable stock and serve the sausage on the side. It will please both groups, and the soup will not suffer. If you leave out the sausage, you may find that you need to add a second teaspoon of herbs towards the end of cooking. If you have smoked paprika, it is a nice addition to add the smoky flavor that is missing from the sausage.
- Taste and adjust seasonings. It sometimes needs salt and pepper. Remove the bay leaf.
- Leftovers reheat well and will freeze. If you have a large crock pot, it is an easy recipe to double.
Tips:
- Use dried peas: Dried peas are more flavorful than canned or frozen peas and they hold their shape better in the soup.
- Soak the peas overnight: Soaking the peas overnight helps to soften them and reduce the cooking time.
- Use a ham bone or smoked sausage: A ham bone or smoked sausage adds a delicious smoky flavor to the soup.
- Don't overcook the peas: Peas should be cooked until tender but still hold their shape.
- Add vegetables: Vegetables such as carrots, celery, and onions add flavor and nutrition to the soup.
- Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
- Serve with crusty bread or crackers: Crusty bread or crackers are a great way to soak up the delicious soup.
Conclusion:
This all-day pea soup is a hearty and flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a delicious and comforting soup, give this recipe a try.
