Here’s another great way to use some more of that leftover ham from Easter dinner.


Nothing could be easier.  Just put everything in the slow cooker and let ‘er rip.

I serve with buttered toasted croutons.  All I do here is melt butter in a skillet and “toast” the bread that way then cut in cubes.  Easy peasy.

Soup does thicken when it’s chilled–and there will be leftovers of this unless you’re feeding about 8 people, so on the redux, thin with a little water or chicken stock.

I’ve made this with smoked sausage and kielbasa too.  Both great substitutions if you don’t have ham.

Ingredients

  • 1 ham bone that has meat still on it OR 2 cups thickly diced boneless ham
  • 2 1/2 cups 1 regular bag green split peas
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 2 carrots sliced thickly
  • 5 cups water
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 5 whole peppercorns
  • 1/8 tsp dehydrated dill or a sprig of fresh
  • 1 clove garlic crushed

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a 5-6 quart slow cooker. Set on low and cook for 6-8 hrs. Soup may have to be thinned with more water, depending on how your individual slow cooker cooks--5 cups of water was about right for my cooker and produced a thick, hearty soup. If you like a thinner soup, use 6 cups water.
  • Serve with buttered croutons.
  • Serves 6-8
