Slow Cooker Split Pea Soup

Slow Cooker Split Pea Soup

For many, split pea soup is synonymous with split peas and ham. This Slow Cooker Split Pea Soup has no ham, but has tons of flavor making it vegan and vegetarian-friendly! Split Peas don’t take a lot of time to cook, but letting this soup cook in the slow cooker allows for all if the flavors to melt together while giving you a break in the kitchen.


Slow Cooker Split Pea Soup

This split pea soup is my version of comfort. If I need something wholesome and soothing to eat, split pea soup is for me. If I am feeling good or a bit under the weather, this Slow Cooker Split Pea Soup is the first thing I want to have.

Slow Cooker Split Pea Soup

Split pea soup may be hard to convince someone how delicious it tastes since it is, well, green and looks questionable to some. One bite will cast away all doubt.

Another bonus with this split pea soup, it’s freezable!! I freeze individual servings for those rainy days! Just slowly heat the soup on the stove or microwave!

    Would it be possible to sub french lentils? All I have on hand at the moment

      French lentils will work in this recipe but you will end up with a completely different flavor and texture in the soup.I have a Slow Cooker Lentil & Spinach Soup that would be another option for French lentils.

    I made this and cooked overnight. It is very tasty. I thought I might miss the ham but don’t! So simple too! I did use some chicken bone broth as I didn’t have enough vegetable broth. Thank you!

    I recently switched to a fully Vegan diet and this recipe has saved me! A lot of “comfort foods” contain meat and/or dairy, and lets face it, a Kale salad is delicious, but by no means comfort food (in my book). I made two batches of this, zip locked single servings, and stuck in the freezer. Perfect to grab on a rainy day on the way out the door to work. Thanks for the recipe!

      I am so happy that you enjoyed this soup. I completely agree with you on the comfort food! I have always called this split pea soup my “chicken noodle soup” replacement. Congratulations on the vegan diet.

    I see the recipe is Good for 4-6 servicing
    I need about 12 servings would I just double the recipe?

    Thanks

    • Dayna says

      You can definitely double this recipe with a large slow cooker.

    If I wanted to add potatoes would I increase the broth? Sounds delicious! Friday night is soup night at our house- this is up next!

    • Dayna says

      October 27, 2016 at 10:21 pm

      You can definitely add potatoes to this soup. That is a great idea! If you are only adding 1 or 2 diced potatoes, you should not need to add more broth. If you want to add a bunch of diced potatoes, you may need to add more broth to cover the ingredients. I hope you all enjoy this for you Friday Soup night!

    Did you soak your peas first?

    • Dayna says

      October 27, 2016 at 10:25 pm

      I only rinsed the dried split peas. They do not require soaking since they cook so fast in comparison to other dried bean varieties.

    This is truly a great pea soup recipe!!! I have never made soup ina crock pot, and I was skeptical of trying. However, this comes out better than it would cooked in a stovetop.
    I did add cut up pieces of canned spam and one small diced onion and it was delicious!

    Split pea soup is my favorite sign of fall. For an extra special treat, I add a little lump crab meat and finish it with truffle oil. Worked very hard this week, so, treated myself. Mmmmm good.
