Slow Cooker Split Pea Sausage Soup

I never realized how easy it is to make split pea soup in the slow cooker! I did make a few changes due to personal preference. I used all chicken stock, cubed ham, no oregano, used Rosemary instead. Kept the rest the same. I was done in 3 hours on high in my slow cooker. The peas were cooked through, not mushy, not crunchy; just right! The soup itself was nice and creamy. A definite keeper! Thank you 4 sharing.

I modified the recipe by substituting diced smoked ham instead of sausage and cut the water down to 6 cups it was perfectly thick. Very tasty but Does make quite a bit of soup, great for a group !

Very tasty, light, and flavorful!! After reading other suggestions I use 7 cups water and 1cup of chicken stock (since I had some leftover). I agree with others that 10 cups total as the original recipe calls for would make the soup very watery. Also, I used 93% fat free turkey bacon 12oz instead of sausage. And the smokey bacon flavor was great with hardly any fatty/heavy taste. One more thing I would recommend to others: use 2 “large” potatoes, which will help to make the soup thicker. I used 1 small and 1 medium red potatoes (available in fridge today), and the soup was a little runny and I would’ve liked it a little thicker.

My only changes: I sautéed the onions, celery and minced garlic along with three pieces of diced bacon before adding them to the cooker and used diced ham instead of sausage. It was absolutely delicious after five hours. Yum.

I read the reviews before making this so I only added 8 cups of water. I substituted bacon for sausage. The soup was a bit watery at the end of the cooking time but it thickened up as it cooled. Thanks for the recipe :)
