SLOW COOKER SPLIT PEA AND LENTIL SOUP



Slow Cooker Split Pea and Lentil Soup image

Provided by Emma Chapman

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 yellow onion chopped (around 1/3 to 1/2 cup)
4 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup chopped carrots
2 small to medium russet potatoes (peeled and chopped)
8 oz. split peas
8 oz. lentils
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
7-8 cups vegetable stock
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Sauté the onions and garlic in the olive oil until they begin to turn brown and caramelize. Remove from heat. In a large slow cooker (where I'm from we call 'em crock pots-but that kind of sounds less appetizing, right?), combine the cooked onions and garlic, chopped carrot, chopped potatoes, split peas, lentils, bay leaf, oregano, cayenne and 7 cups of vegetable stock.
  • Yep, you pretty much just dump it all in there and then set it to high for six hours. If you want to give it a creamier texture, you can blend it with an immersion blender or in batches in a good blender. Remove the bay leaf before you do this. Taste and add salt and pepper or even a bit more cayenne if you want more heat.
  • I think this tastes even better the next day warmed up! It will get quite thick, so you can thin it out with more stock or water as you reheat it.

SLOW COOKER SPLIT PEA SOUP WITH BACON AND HASH BROWNS



Slow Cooker Split Pea Soup with Bacon and Hash Browns image

I use bacon instead of ham and frozen hash brown potatoes in this pea soup. It's a good winter comfort food and smells wonderful while cooking. It freezes well, so when my husband and I are busy all day, its a quick dinner for us. I add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to spice it up a bit. You can also cook whole bacon strips in the microwave until lightly browned. Transfer to paper towels and let cool; crush or tear into small pieces.

CROCK POT SPLIT PEA AND LENTIL SOUP



Crock Pot Split Pea and Lentil Soup image

For a truly vegetarian soup, substitute vegetable bouillon for the chicken soup base. This recipe almost overflowed my 4-quart crockpot, you might want to halve the ingredients. I cooked it on high for the entire 8 hours because it was so full, but if you halve it, cooking it on low for the same amount of time will work fine.

CANADIAN BACON POTATO SOUP



Canadian Bacon Potato Soup image

Posted for Zaar World Tour 2005. Identifying a Canadian recipe, for an American, was difficult. Good thing I found at least one good one, on the internet. St. Ives makes a wonderful vegetarian substitute for Canadian Bacon. Lower in fat than the original (which I understand is still pretty low in fat). This is a diabetic recipe, from Taste of Home's Light and Tasty. Exchanges: 1 starch, 1 lean meat, 1 vegetable. I have not tried this yet, but I will. Butter granules are new to me; I might as well experiment.
