GOLDEN YELLOW SPLIT PEA SOUP (CROCKPOT / SLOW COOKER)



Golden Yellow Split Pea Soup (Crockpot / Slow Cooker) image

I modified this from a Food and Wine recipe--and I think it is a keeper! We like to have it with grilled ham and cheese (or just cheese for Lent). I especially like this as the seasoning is a little different and makes a nice change from our usual split pea and ham soup.

CROCKPOT SPLIT PEA, LENTIL, AND BARLEY SOUP AKA WEIGHT WATCHERS



Crockpot Split Pea, Lentil, and Barley Soup Aka Weight Watchers image

I made split pea and barley soup and was left with only a little bit of each left. I made Lentil soup, and was left with only a little bit of the bag left. I really, really wanted split pea soup tonight, so I decided to put a little bit of each in and see how it goes. I also added some turkey pepperoni instead of ham (so feel free to use whatever smoky meat you want) because...I didn't have any ham! The outcome was something unexpectedly delicious, and I think I'll be making this quite a bit in the future! By the way, each portion of this is 6 very filling Weight Watchers points (recalculating for the new system) without the turkey pepperoni. With the turkey pepperoni, it's 7.
