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.

SPLIT PEA AND PARSNIP SOUP - CROCK-POT
The parsnips add a creamy sweetness that complements the flavor of the split peas. If parsnips are unavailable, use carrots instead. Because the peas have a tendency to settle on the bottom of the pot, a quick stir midway through the cooking process is helpful. The Liquid Smoke adds a "bacony" flavor to the soup and is available in most supermarkets. While this is intended to be vegetarian, from Fresh From the Vegetarian Slow Cooker, I also made this with a ham bone instead of the liquid smoke and was delicious.

- Transfer the vegetables to a 4-6 quart slow cooker and add the peas, thyme, bay leaf and stock. Cover and cook on low for eight hours, stirring once if possible. When it's done, the peas will disappear! (The time may vary, depending on your crock pot - I did three hours on high and one on low.).
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the Liquid Smoke, if using, remove and discard the bay leaf, and taste to adjust the seasonings.

CROCK POT CURRIED SPLIT PEA SOUP
I've been meaning to add my recipe for pea soup for a long time. This is kind of a two for one soup; The first night you have it, it is a thin-ish soup and in the subsequent days it is more like a stew; or maybe wallpaper paste like my husband calls it! He had three BIG bowls tonight so I know it was a good one. I hope you try...

Steps:
- 1. If you want to go through the process of sauteing The veggies and garlic in a little olive oil have at it! I have found that it doesnt add that much extra to this soup, dirties more dishes and takes up my limited time.
- 2. Turn your crock pot on high and add the ham bone and chicken stock.
- 3. Add the veggies as you cut them up then give the pot a stir.
- 4. Add seasonings to the pot and stir again.
- 5. If the liquid isnt up over the vegetables you will need to add water or more stock. I usually cook my stock down so its pretty concentrated so I just add water to cover.
- 6. Cook on high for three and a half hours or on low for seven. You can remove the bone and scrape the meat off or just give the soup a vigorous stir so the meat falls off the bones. I dont bother taking the bones out until I store the soup for the night.
- 7. Serve with a drizzle of bacon infused olive oil...YUM!
THIRD GENERATION SPLIT PEA SOUP (CROCK POT)
I remember waking up in the morning to the smell of this delicious soup 40 years ago. Mom would put all of the ingredients in the slow cooker the night before and it was a marvelous thing to wake up to on a snowy, northern morning. Put it on in the morning before you go to work and the incredible aroma will meet you at the door...

CROCK POT INTERNATIONAL SPLIT PEA SOUP
In Canada, it is a traditional Quebec dish, made with split yellow peas and flavoured with salt pork. Citizens of the Middle East are likely to enjoy a vegetarian version, seasoned with cumin and lemon. This recipe borrows a bit from each of these cuisines. I like to serve this soup steaming hot with plenty of fresh, dark bread, coleslaw and sliced Cheddar cheese. It makes a great winter meal.

Tips for Making the Best Split Pea Soup in a Crock Pot
- Soak the peas overnight: Soaking the peas overnight will help to soften them and reduce the cooking time. If you don't have time to soak the peas overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Adding a variety of vegetables to your split pea soup will give it more flavor and nutrients. Some good vegetables to use include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and turnips.
- Season the soup well: Don't be afraid to season your split pea soup well. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good choices. You can also add other spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or sage.
- Simmer the soup for at least 2 hours: The longer you simmer the soup, the more flavorful it will be. If you're short on time, you can cook the soup for less time, but it won't be as good.
- Serve the soup with crusty bread or crackers: Split pea soup is traditionally served with crusty bread or crackers. This helps to soak up the broth and makes the soup more satisfying.
Conclusion
Split pea soup is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold day. It's also relatively easy to make, especially if you use a crock pot. By following these tips, you can make the best split pea soup in a crock pot.
