Ingredients

  • 1 pound split peas rinsed and sorted
  • 8 cup chicken broth
  • 1 whole ham bone or 2 smoked ham hocks
  • 2 cloves garlic roughly chopped
  • 1 cup celery diced
  • 1 cup carrots diced
  • 1 whole medium onion diced
  • 1 bay leaf
  • salt and hot sauce to taste

Instructions

  • Place peas, chicken broth, ham bone or hocks, veggies, and bay leaf in the slow cooker and let cook 8 hours on low or until peas have broken down and created a rich, thick broth.
  • Remove ham bone from soup, cut off any meat and return to the soup. Season with salt and hot sauce as needed. All hams have a different salt content and it's hard to gauge how much you'll need. I usually don't need to add very much at all.
  • If the soup is too thick stir in water or milk until it's your desired consistency.
