Oh, and randomly enough, it also happens that the 2nd week of November is National Split Pea Soup Week. Who comes up with this stuff?
Split Pea Soup
- 16 oz. bag split peas
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 c. chopped carrots
- 1/2 c. chopped celery
- 1 t. basil
- 2 t. cumin
- 1 t. black pepper
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 t. minced garlic
- 4 c. reduced sodium broth (chicken or vegetable)
- 3 c. water
Here’s the best part. The directions.
Directions: Place everything listed in the slow cooker. Cook on low for 8-10 hours. Remove the bay leaves and serve!
Add a glass of wine, if you wish. We opened a bottle we’ve had sitting at home for over a year . . . Opolo Petit Verdot. It was excellent!
The soup is perfect for a drizzly, November day. The leftovers taste just as good! Just add a touch of water if the soup has thickened more than you’d like. Enjoy!

ah yes, keep the slow-cooker recipes comin! I just got one and have no idea what to do with it.
Oh good . . . because I have few more that I’m excited to post about!
considering that it is pouring rain right now, this sounds like the perfect dinner with some bread
Love slow cookers — but I hate peas. So much. It actually does look kind of good though so that’s impressive.
Even though i don’t have my slow cooker out here, I’m loving all these recipes you keep posting girl!
Have a great day.
Thanks! And you, too!
Ha, really, who does come up with this stuff?! I’ll have to give this soup a try….I haven’t had split pea soup since I was a kid. I thought it was the grossest then, but I also hated every legume including black beans and lentils, which I love now. Your frequent use of the slow cooker totally inspires me to use my own!
It certainly isn’t the prettiest dish out there, but it sure is yummy!
I LOVE split pea soup! Pinning this right now so I can make it next week
I had never made it before, and it turns out I love it! So healthy, too.
Split peas are so good for you! I’m really excited for this recipe. I love how you literally throw everything in – I hate crockpot recipes that start with “Sautee onion, garlic…etc.” I don’t wanna saute! I wanna set and forget!
Ha! I’m TOTALLY the same way!
I’ve been wondering the same thing– who does come up for the National Whatever Days?? and how can i apply for that job
Seriously!
Hahaha who does come up with this stuff? But thank god because it led me to a great crockpot recipe
Thanks girlie!! Making my life more delicious and easier everyday. I owe you!
