Put in slow cooker: 1 pkg split peas, rinsed & drained
2 c. diced, cooked ham
3 carrots
1/2 c. onions
2 bay leaves, celery, 2 cloves garlic, 12-15 sprigs fresh parsley
Add 1 1/2 quarts chicken broth (for me, after cooking a whole chicken
add the smaller, shredded pieces of chicken
some frozen spinach
Cook for 10 hours on low.
Remove split peas as best you can, put in blender and blend, add back into soup. Makes it thicker. If needed, add some corn starch to thicken more.
salt and pepper, a bit of basil, oregano, chives
