Tips:

Soak the split peas: Soaking the split peas for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight) will help them cook more evenly and reduce the cooking time.
Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for carrots, celery, and onion, but you can add any other vegetables you like, such as potatoes, parsnips, or turnips.
Don't overcook the soup: Split pea soup is best when it is slightly thick and creamy. If you cook it for too long, it will become mushy.
Season to taste: Be sure to taste the soup before serving and add more salt, pepper, or herbs as needed.
Serve with a side of bread or crackers: Split pea soup is a hearty and filling soup, but it can be even better with a side of bread or crackers for dipping.

This vegetarian crock pot split pea soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day.
