Don't you just love having a nice warm bowl of soup when it's cold outside? I sure do, and this recipe makes that even easier because you cook it in the slow cooker! Add some rolls, maybe a nice salad and you've got a hearty, warm meal.
Split Pea Soup
from Cuisinart Slow Cooker Cookbook
2 garlic cloves, peeled
8 ounces onion, peeled and chopped
1 celery stalk, chopped, top off, cut into 1-inch pieces
12 ounces waxy potatoes cut into 1/2-inch cubes
12 ounces carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
1 pound green split peas, rinsed
6 cups chicken stock
1 12 ounce ham hock (or roasted turkey leg)
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon thyme
1/4 cup dry sherry
Directions:
Place all ingredients but the sherry into the ceramic pot of the slow cooker. Cover and cook on High for 1 hour. Once time elapses, cook on Low for 7 to 8 hours.
To serve, remove ham hock and discard bone, chop meat, and return it to soup. Stir in sherry.
