Crock Pot Split Pea Soup (Lower-Fat)
"I have left the chili flakes as optional you may omit of adjust to suit heat level, also all chicken broth or all water may be used, also the milk is optional and to be added in at the end of cooking --- using fat-free milk makes this soup extremely low-fat."

This is sooo good....best split-pea soup I have ever made! The only thing I did differently was to add 4 links of Aidell's Chicken Sausage in place of the ham (Bacon & pineapple flavor, from Costco) It tastes just like honey-baked ham! Otherwise, I followed the recipe exactly, omitting the milk and chili flakes! It was perfect, needed no extra seasonings! Thank you so much, Kittencal, for posting such an easy and yummy recipe! I will make this regularly -
Used turkey bacon instead of ham. Was super good! -
This tasted like I had a hamhock on the stove all day, slaving over the pot to create a rich and creamy pea soup. Well, I created a rich and creamy pea soup, but with almost no work and no milk at all! This is terrific Kitten. Cooked exactly as listed. Thanks! -
