Ingredients

• 1 pound Dried split peas
• 1 piece/cup Ham bone or diced ham
• 3 large Carrots
• 3 Celery stalks
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried rosemary
• 1 Bay leaf
• 6 cups Chicken broth
• 1 cup Water
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the dried split peas under cold water until the water runs clear. Set aside to drain.

Step 2

Peel and dice the carrots, slice the celery, and finely chop the onion.

Step 3

Add the split peas, ham bone or diced ham, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and bay leaf to the crockpot.

Step 4

Pour in the chicken broth and water, then add the salt and pepper. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.

Step 5

Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on LOW for 8 hours or HIGH for 4-5 hours, until the peas are tender and the soup has thickened.

Step 6

If using a ham bone, carefully remove it once the soup is done cooking. Shred any remaining meat off the bone and stir it back into the soup.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 8

For a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup directly in the crockpot, leaving some chunks for a hearty consistency.

Step 9

Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve hot.
