Split Pea Soup (Crock Pot) - Dairy Free

Wow...I can't stop eating this delicious soup! I usually hate eating the same thing twice in a row, but not this. I followed the recipe exactly except I cut the amount of seasoned salt to 1/2 tblsp to reduce sodium and used low-fat kielbasa in place of the ham because that is what I had on hand. I cooked for 3 hours on high before I lifted the lid to check the doneness of the peas and to stir. At this point, it was completely done, so I tasted and decided to add about 1 tblsp parsley and 1 tsp McCormick's salt free all purpose seasoning (to make up for the 1/2 tblsp seasoning salt I left out). I also added another clove of garlic at this point(love that garlic). I cooked it for 1 1/2 hours longer on low until we were ready to eat and WOW so so so yummy, warm, and filling. I served with some crusty bread and a baked potato on the side. (I am weird and like to spoon some of my pea soups over a baked potato...I mash it all together...try it once, it's actually very tasty...or maybe I really am just weird) Thank you, chelle for a great dinner and some WELCOME leftovers.

This soup was great. We had extra and froze it in ziplock bags. My husband enjoyed it very much too and he's not a soup guy. I especially like it because it's great on a budget.

This is really good. I used beef broth instead of water and it came out great. My dad loved it. I will keep this recipe handy. Thanks.

This recipe is very similar to one I usually make in a stock pot. I thought I had perfected the time with that recipe (1 1/2 hrs.), however, how can you beat crockpot time? I used chicken stock instead of water and came home to a very nice soup... Great!

Fantastic! I cannot believe how good this was. My husband deemed it the best split pea soup he has ever tasted. I used some leftover honey baked ham, 2 bay leaves, and substituted homemade vegetable stock for the water. I eyeballed the seasoning salt, and should have been more accurate or cut back on it a just a tad because it was the slightest bit too salty for my taste, but no one else noticed and licked their bowls clean. The only other change I made was to ladle 1/3 of the soup into my blender and puree it, then add it back into the rest of the soup. This resulted in the perfect, thick and creamy consistency. Thank you so much for sharing such an easy and absolutely delicious recipe that we will be enjoying often!

I just made this, with only a few changes. I used polish sausage, diced tiny, instead of ham. I added more garlic an hour before dinner and didn't use a bay leaf at all. It cooked on high for 5 hours and it had a good texture. I hate peas and beans, so this was just alright for me but my man loves this and wants me to make it again. Thanks Chelle for a great soup.

I used dried yellow mung beans instead of split peas. They mushed up on their own after 8 hours in the crockpot and made a delicious thick broth. Yummy and healthy; can't beat that!

Yum! Fabulous and easy, my favorite kind of recipe. :) I made it with 1/2 T of salt, all else as directed. Thank you for sharing!

I found this to be super easy and quite tasty. I probably added less salt that what's called for and I just used regular salt, but it was tasty overall. Too me a few minutes in the morning to prepare and it smelled yummy all the way out to the hall when I got home. I did find that once I took the lid off it got a bit too thick, so I added an extra cup of water to it. I've frozen the rest for later snacking and will probably use this again for my very occassional craving of pea soup. Too bad I didn't know ahead of time that my DH doesn't like pea soup. Oh well!

Very easy and very good. I used turkey ham instead and it still came out great. I did lower the salt to 3/4 and it was ready in 2.5 hours on high for me. I was tempted to make it thicker, but after letting it sit it gets plenty thick. Thanks!

Just fantastic!! I loved how easy it was to cook in the crock pot, and the flavor is PERFECT. The only change I made was to double the garlic, just because we love it! Mine took 4 hours on high. Thanks for sharing this new family favorite!

Excellent soup and so convenient on a busy day. I made this pretty much as written except that I only used half the salt amount listed. Also, I threw a leftover, meaty ham bone in there. My family really loved this soup and I'll surely be making it again. Thanks for the recipe Chelle :)

Myself and my family really enjoyed this soup - it was very easy to put together and great to come home to! I am very skeptical of recipes on the internet (some have been very disapointing) but I can assure anyone who enjoys pea soup "this recipe is delicious!! Thanks much for posting it!

Yummy! This is the first time I have tried split pea soup and I'll definitely have it again. We had it with plain bagels and pears on the side. We've eaten it for three days straight and enjoyed it every time! (A real winner in my book.) Thank you again for posting such a simple and delicious recipe. It definitely gets to have a permanent spot in my cookbook.

I had never tried split pea, and decided to have a taste once this was done. I am a split pea lover now, due to this recipe. Thank you for sharing your recipe.

This is a good recipe. I cooked on low for 8 1/2 hrs and should not have been surprised to find as much liquid since the 1 1/2 qts of water is what I use when I make this on the stove, hence less evaporation when done in the CP. This is good to use as a reference as one can always adjust to personal taste. I tasted and added 1 tsp. salt and 1 1/2 tsps. All Herb seasoning then added 1 c. elbow macaroni to thicken. Thanks for posting :) I shall definitely make again.

Wow. This was surprisingly simple to prepare and had great flavor. Four of us finished it off...no leftovers! That doesn't happen very often around here. It only took 6-1/2 hours on low, but my crockpot tends to run high for some reason. Very good comfort food....thank you for posting!
