ingredients
1 pound smoked sausage, sliced medium thin (turkey sausage is good)
1 large onion, chopped fine
1 large potato, scrubbed and diced
1 pound split peas
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
7 cups water
directions
Combine everything in a crock pot and cook on low for at least 8 hours. Stir thoroughly before serving.
To thicken the soup a bit without adding calories, puree about 2 cups of the soup in a food processor and stir it back into the soup.
Italian variation: Pre-cook 1 pound of sweet or hot Italian sausage by steaming 15 minutes in about 1/2 inch of water in a skillet or by cooking at 5-minute intervals in a microwave oven.
When cool enough to handle, slice the sausage and proceed as above, adding 1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning.

The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

Soup does taste very strong on the split pea side, but overall is very delicious!
