Sausage Split-Pea Soup
- add review
- #93338

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.

crock pot notes
Crock pots/slow cookers all heat differently. There is no standard among manufacturers. Cooking times are suggested guidelines based on our testing. Please adjust cooking times and temps to work with your brand and model of slow cooker.nutrition data

This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

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