Split Pea Soup

Split Pea Soup

This is my version of the timeless classic, perfect on a cold evening.  In a slow cooker, combine:

• 6 C of Water
• 1 # of Green Split Peas (sorted)
• 1 C Chopped Carrots
• 1 C Chopped Celery
• 1 Med Onion Chopped
• 1 1/2 C Diced Ham
• 1 Tbs Minced Garlic
• 1 Tsp Chili Powder
• 1/2 Tsp Salt
• 1/4 Tsp Salt
• 1/4 Tsp Thyme
• Sprinkle of Red Chili Flakes

Cover and let cook on high 6 - 7 hours.  Soup will thicken as it cools.
