This is the recipe that I use.  It comes out perfect every time!


Crockpot Split Pea Soup


1 (16 oz.) pkg. dried split peas
2 cups diced lean ham
1 bay leaf
3 carrots, peeled & sliced (omit in Phase 1)
2 stalks of celery, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 medium onion, chopped
Salt & pepper to taste (I like to add the salt when it's done cooking because sometimes the ham can be salty)
6 cups water


Layer ingredients in a slow cooker, pour in water.  Cover & cook on high 4 to 5 hours or on low 8 to 10 hours until peas are very soft and become a puree.  Discard bay leaf.


*Freezes well


**You can also make this on the stove top in a soup pot.  Cooking time is about 1 1/2 hours.
