*Slow Cooker Scrumptiousness* Split Pea Soup

Fall has been in and out of the air here in So Cal
We've spent half the time bundling up in sweaters and boots
And the other half back in sundresses and shorts
Such is So Cal

But on those days when the temperature dips
There's nothing better than an easy, delicious soup recipe
Especially when you can pop it in the crock pot and have it waiting when you get home
As usual, I found the inspired for this one on Pinterest
And you can see the original recipe on My Recipes

*Slow Cooker Scrumptiousness* Split Pea Soup

Ingredients

1 package of bacon

1 lb bag of frozen peas

2 carrots

4 celery stalks

1 onion

2 garlic cloves  

{or preminced equivalent}

1 - 32 oz can of chicken broth

1 bay leaf

1 tsp thyme

First, chop up your carrots, onion and celery into big chunks
{You can do this the night before}

Throw the bacon in the bottom of the crock pot
{I used the whole package, but a few pieces would probably be sufficient}

Add all of the veggies, garlic and the spices

And then mix it all up

Pour the chicken broth over the top.

And put it on low for 8-10 hours.

Mix up the soup so that the bacon shreds into smaller pieces
And fish out the bay leaf

Then stick your immersion blender in and blend it up
Or transfer to a blender

Enjoy every last warm bite
With some delicious french bread
Or just on its own!
