A perfect winter soup, filling and flavorful! We had ham for Christmas dinner, so I whipped up a batch of split pea soup to make use of the ham bone. While the picture might be the most appetizing, the soup was fantastic! It was super easy and made the house smell great as it cooked all day.
Split Pea Soup
Ingredients
1 (16-oz) package dried green split peas, rinsed
1 meaty ham bone, 2 ham hocks or 2 cups diced ham (I used the bone)
1 cup sliced baby carrots
1 cup chopped yellow onion
2 ribs celery plus leaves, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 bay leaf
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Salt and pepper to taste
6 cups chicken broth
Directions:
Layer ingredients in slow cooker in the order given, adding the broth last. Do not stir ingredients. Cover and cook on high 4—5 hours or on low 8—10 hours until peas are very soft and ham falls off the bone.

Did you follow these direction??? Did you actually put the beans down at the bottom?? The beans did not burn?? Did you soak the beans overnight?? I have before me a bag of split peas that I have to make this week!!!
