Split Pea Soup

Split peas don't have to be soaked for a long period of time, so you just rinse them off and cook. (and pick through and find the non split pea items) :o)

Split Pea Soup

1-1/2 c Split peas

3 cups Chicken Broth

1 Tomato (chopped)

1 Celery stalk (stalk, not a whole bunch) chopped

1 Onion, chopped

1-2 carrots, chopped

1 c or can V8 juice (optional, you can just add more water instead)

2 c Water

Pepper

Onion Powder

Garlic Powder

1/2 package Turkey Bacon (6 oz) or Turkey Ham would probably be better, but the bacon was what I had. (chopped)

Salt to taste

Throw everything in the crockpot and cook

after it's done cooking

I take the wand mixer and puree about 3/4's of the soup
