Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 6h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley, plus 8 to 10 parsley stems
4 sprigs thyme
1 pound green split peas, picked over and rinsed
1 large leek, white and light green part only, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 smoked turkey leg (1 to 1 1/2 pounds)
1/4 cup nonfat plain yogurt
1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed
Crusty multigrain bread, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Tie the parsley stems and thyme together with kitchen string and place in a 6-quart slow cooker. Add the split peas, leek, celery, carrots, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; stir to combine. Add the turkey leg and 7 cups water. Cover and cook on low until the split peas and meat are tender, 6 to 8 hours.

Stir in the chopped parsley and about three-quarters of the turkey meat; season with salt and pepper.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls. Thin the yogurt with a little water, then spoon onto the soup. Top with the thawed peas and the remaining turkey. Serve with bread, if desired.

SLOW COOKER SPLIT PEA SOUP WITH BACON AND HASH BROWNS



Slow Cooker Split Pea Soup with Bacon and Hash Browns image

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.
