There’s nothing quite like a hearty soup or stew on a chilly fall evening, or a cold winter’s day, is there? Even down here in balmy Miami…I enjoy a good soup or stew when the temperatures drop! They’re also the BEST comfort foods when you’re feeling sick and sluggish. I recently had a bad cold, which resulted in a sore throat, and ALL I ate was soft pastas and soups! This Slow Cooker Split Pea Soup Recipe is perfect for all of the above! Bonus…it’s cooked in a slow cooker, so all you have to do is dump the ingredients and forget it!
I absolutely love slow cookers and use mine for a TON of different recipes. I began using one back when I was married and working full time, as it was such a struggle to have a homemade meal on the table every day after working all day. They make like so much easier – so much so, that even though I’ve worked from home for 8 years, I STILL use my slow cooker almost once a week. There are some recipes that are just so easy to make in the slow cooker, it would be a shame to waste time cooking them on the stove!
