My ham bone from was in the icebox waiting for soup so I skipped the freezer part of this recipe and went directly to the crock pot directions. Followed the directions as presented and added a diced potato (since this is standard in my stove top recipe) and added two quarts of water. My initial result was a disappointment, thin and watery. Decided the flavors were really good and some evaporation would be a certain fix - so I removed the lid and let the soup simmer in the crock pot for 90 minutes. Certainly glad I tried as the results were just delicious and everything a good pea soup should be - thick, comforting and flavorful. Thanks! -
Next time I'll double the peas, too thin. -
I didn't do the make ahead, I put right in the crock Pot, Comfort food at it's finest. The best split pea soup I have made. -
This soup is fabulous. Even Hubby liked it, and he's not at all into soup! I also added a diced parsnip because my non-crock pot recipe includes this.

This is wonderful. The soup was ready in a snap, the whole house smelled wonderful the entire day of cooking. I threw in a couple of chopped potatoes that I had to use up. A lovely thick and tasty soup. Thanks!

I've been hanging around Zaar for a while, now and have found some really awesome recipes, but more importantly, some really awesome people.
I'd like to thank all of you who have taken the time to try my recipes. Your reviews are a bright spot in my day.
I believe that life is a collection of lessons that we must do our best to learn. One that I'm working on now is not judging those who judge others. I've come across this quote and thought I'd put it here: "The world is long on judgment and short on understanding. Judging is easy and self-satisfying. Understanding requires perspective, experience, and empathy."-Unknown
