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.

This soup was a bit too salty for my taste.

I'm not sure about the addition of hash browns to this soup. I think it might be better without them.
