Crock Pot Split Pea Soup

It's soup season! I couldn't think of a better soup to kick off the fall season. And, this soup never let's me down.

Ingredients:

• 6 cups vegetable broth
• 1 {1 lb} bag dried split peas, rinsed
• 2 cups ham steak, diced
• 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
• 1 large russet potato, peeled and diced
  
• 1 cup celery, chopped {about 2 to 3 stalks}
• 1 cup carrots, chopped
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper

Combine all ingredients together in Crock Pot and stir. Cover and cook on High for 4 to 5 hours, or until peas, potatoes and carrots are soft.

{Tip!} Garnish with fresh parsley or top with shredded cheese! Serve with warmed bread rolls.

Enjoy!
