Continuing on with my series of "throw it in and let it cook" meals... I give you: Split Pea Soup.
Looks disgusting, tastes great. Now since we have a pork allergy in the house, I cook up some turkey bacon and crumble it up, throwing some in the soup, along with some Italian seasoned croutons.
Split pea soup... it's easy to make. Take about 5 cups of water, 3 cups of vegetable broth, 16 ounces of dry split peas, some salt, some pepper, about 1/2 cup of carrots (diced), throw it all in the crock pot and turn it on high for about 4 hours. If you don't have vegetable broth, you can dice up an onion, add two celery ribs, throw in some seasoning (parsley, bay leaf, salt, pepper), which essentially does the same thing.
Now for the real thing, you'll want to dice up or shred some ham or bacon, and even better if you have a ham bone to put in to steep while cooking. Again, pork allergy in my house, so that doesn't happen here.
The soup WILL separate fairly quickly. You'll want to stir it a bit before serving into bowls. Same while you're eating it. It looks disgusting, but man is it good.
