VEGETARIAN SLOW COOKER SPLIT PEA SOUP

Vegetarian Slow Cooker Split Pea Soup image

Got this recipe online a couple years ago. I've tweaked it a little bit and will probably continue to experiment by throwing other vegetables in. It's a great soup for a cold day when I know I won't have time to cook dinner. I usually make a batch and freeze what we don't eat. It tastes the same when reheated after the freezer, but the texture does change slightly. Lasts a few days in the fridge as well.

Tips:

Use a variety of split peas. This will give your soup a more complex flavor and texture.
Soak your split peas before cooking. This will help them to cook more evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
Don't overcook your split peas. They should be tender but still hold their shape.
Add vegetables and herbs to your soup for extra flavor. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, garlic, thyme, and rosemary.
If you want a thicker soup, you can add a cornstarch or flour slurry.
Serve your split pea soup with a side of bread or crackers.
