SLOW-COOKED SPLIT PEA SOUP
I've been making this soup for years. After every holiday where ham is served, the hostess hands me the ham bone and a bag of peas when I leave. I love it with a slice of crusty fresh bread. -Susan Simons, Eatonville, Washington

SLOW COOKER SPLIT PEA AND LENTIL SOUP
Provided by Emma Chapman
Number Of Ingredients 12
Steps:
- Sauté the onions and garlic in the olive oil until they begin to turn brown and caramelize. Remove from heat. In a large slow cooker (where I'm from we call 'em crock pots-but that kind of sounds less appetizing, right?), combine the cooked onions and garlic, chopped carrot, chopped potatoes, split peas, lentils, bay leaf, oregano, cayenne and 7 cups of vegetable stock.
- Yep, you pretty much just dump it all in there and then set it to high for six hours. If you want to give it a creamier texture, you can blend it with an immersion blender or in batches in a good blender. Remove the bay leaf before you do this. Taste and add salt and pepper or even a bit more cayenne if you want more heat.
- I think this tastes even better the next day warmed up! It will get quite thick, so you can thin it out with more stock or water as you reheat it.
CROCK POT SPLIT PEA AND LENTIL SOUP
For a truly vegetarian soup, substitute vegetable bouillon for the chicken soup base. This recipe almost overflowed my 4-quart crockpot, you might want to halve the ingredients. I cooked it on high for the entire 8 hours because it was so full, but if you halve it, cooking it on low for the same amount of time will work fine.

Steps:
- Add all ingredients to crock pot.
- Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours or until desired consistency is reached.
Tips:
- Use a variety of lentils. This will give your soup a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include brown lentils, green lentils, and red lentils.
- Don't overcook the lentils. They should be tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked lentils will become mushy and lose their flavor.
- Add vegetables to your soup. This will make it more nutritious and filling. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes.
- Season your soup to taste. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good options. You can also add other spices, such as cumin, coriander, or paprika.
- Serve your soup with a side of bread or crackers. This will help to soak up the broth and make the soup more satisfying.
Conclusion:
Split pea and lentil soup is a delicious, healthy, and affordable meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover lentils and vegetables. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious pot of soup that the whole family will enjoy.
