Sally's Split Pea Soup

Source: MSPI Mama

1-lb. pkg. split peas
2 ham shanks
1 carrot, diced
1 onion, diced
1 rib celery, diced
2 qts. water
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 bay leaf
1/4 tsp ground allspice
3 potatoes, diced
1 tsp. sugar

Wash and sort split peas, removing any stones. Then combine ingredients in slow cooker. Cover. Cook on low 8-10 hours. Remove ham bones. Pull meat off and shred. Return meat to soup. Stir through. Remove bay leaf before serving.


Both my husband and I thought this was really yummy and it made 3 servings for us - definitely plan on freezing and adding water!  My toddler wouldn't touch it, but she hates peas.  All she had to hear was "pea soup" and it was a no-go.  We will keep trying with her those as this is a nice, easy one to add to the mix.
