Still not feeling great and craving comfort food. I’m also cutting down on my daily calories and that makes things even harder when you don’t feel up to making a meal from scratch. So today’s recipe is a simple one, but it makes a ton and it also freezes well.
The slow cooker saves me in so many ways – and when I’m sick it cooks for me while I take a much needed nap. I love my slow cooker…
Slow Cooker Split Pea Soup – serves about 8
- 1 bag of split peas (I think it’s about 2 -3 cups)
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 potato, chopped
- 3 carrots, chopped
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 Tb dried thyme
- 1 tsp liquid smoke
- about 7 cups filtered water – make sure there is at least two inches of water over the other ingredients.
Throw everything in the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 – 10 hours. Puree with an immersion blender and serve with homemade croutons on top. Yum!
