Crock Pot Split Pea And Parsnip Soup Recipe

ingredients

1/2 onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup sliced celery
1 tablespoon olive oil
black pepper
1 cup yellow split peas (dried)
4 parsnips
1 cup canned chopped tomatoes
4 cups low-sodium vegetable stock
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon thyme
2 ounces ham center slice (optional), (with round bone) chopped
salt, if needed

directions

Saute the onion in olive oil, season with pepper. When the onions are soft and lightly browned, transfer to a 2 1/2 quart to 3 1/2 quart slow cooker.

Rinse split peas and add to the cooker. Trim and peel the parsnips; cut into chunks (3/4 to 1 inch long). Add the parsnips, tomatoes with juice, stock (or broth) to the cooker. Add nutmeg, cinnamon and thyme. Stir to combine. Add ham (if using).

Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours (the yellow split peas take longer than the green ones).
