• porties: 6 servings
• actieve tijd: 5 minutes
• totale tijd: 10 hours

Ingrediënten

16 ounces dried split peas

1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil

1 medium chopped onion

2 to 3 cloves garlic (chopped)

2 large carrots (peeled and chopped)

2 smoked ham hocks (removing bones and skin or 8 ounces diced ham steaks)

6 cups chicken bone broth (or chicken broth)

black pepper (to taste)

1 dry bay leaf

Instructies

Wash and drain the peas in a colander.

In a small skillet, saute onions and garlic in oil over medium heat until soft, about 3 minutes.

Transfer to the slow cooker and add peas, carrots, ham or ham hock, chicken broth and bay leaf and cover; cook on LOW 8 to 10 hours or HIGH 4 to 5 hours, until the peas are tender. (Note: comments some people had success with 6 hours low, so check at the 6 hour mark.)

Remove ham or ham hock and season with black pepper. Adjust salt, to taste (this will vary depending on how salty the ham is).

If using ham hocks, discard the skin and shred the pork off the bone, add back to the soup.
