Hearty Vegetable Split Pea Soup
This slow-cooker soup is my secret weapon on busy days. It’s delicious served with oyster crackers that are tossed in a bit of melted butter and herbs and then lightly toasted in the oven. —Whitney Jensen, Spring Lake, Michigan

Excellent soup and so simple to make. Based on other suggestions I did one Tbs. chicken "Better Than Bullion" to the water, and to make a tad heartier, added sliced hot dogs, like my mother used to do, with about 2 hours left to cook. Will definitely make this again.
Very easy to make. What a great taste.i too used chicken stock . I also added 2 slices of bacon . Which I sautéed with the vegetables. I made mine stove top. Looking forward to another bowl tomorrow. I also processed just 1/2 of the soup. VFE.
I tweaked the recipe a tiny bit based on other reviews. I added some low sodium chicken bouillon and used less salt. I served mine topped with crunchy garlic croutons. This soup is hearty and flavorful. I will definitely make it again.
I followed the recipe but made some small changes that I thought really added to the dish. I substituted one of the cups of water with chicken broth, added about a quarter to half cup of Italian dressing, and some garlic powder because I'm fairly sure I can't actually cook without it. We each topped our soup with either some feta or some Parmesan cheese. My daughter literally inhaled her portion of soup and my husband and I enjoyed it as well. Simple to prepare and delicious - we'll definitely make this again!
I loved this soup. I have another split pea recipe I love but wanted to try something different and I loved it, as did my family. I added a small potato and added some chicken bullion powder. I would add the bullion again, but cut down on the salt. I give this 6 stars!!
I added corn on the cob and it was a more complete meal.. Love the taste
I use Smoked ham to this recipe. First I cook the smoked ham bones, and use that as part of the water mixture, great flavor !!!! Sometimes I also add some chopped bacon & a little Italian Dressing, for a little added KICK !!!!
I added chunks of ham and added some cut up potatoes half way thru the cooking time to make a awesome tasting soup that my husband really loved great recipe
