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.

The soup was too thick for my liking. I would add more liquid next time.

This soup is a bit bland for my taste. I would add more spices next time.

This is a great recipe for a healthy and filling meal. I especially like that it's made in the crockpot, so I can set it and forget it.
