Slow Cooker Split Pea Soup

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Split pea soup is my ALL TIME favorite soup and there’s no better way to make it than in the slow cooker! It’s creamy, healthy, and it doesn’t get any easier than throwing everything in a slow cooker!

You can tell just from reading this ingredient list that it’s going to be packed full of flavor!

Here’s what you need to make the slow cooker split pea soup.

16ouncesdry split peas
3large carrots
1medium yellow onion
3ribs of celery
3garlic cloves
8ouncesdiced ham
1teaspoonoregano
1/2teaspoonsalt
6cupschicken broth

Now, I don’t always do this but sometimes I like to add some fun shaped noodles in the soup to really fill up my kids’ bellies! If you want to add the noodles, just boil them in a separate pot and add them in at the end.

my husband loves split pea soup. I usually make it after I serve a ham, so I will keep the ham bone and make stock to make the soup with it!

Did you use an immersion blender to smooth everything out?

I did not. As the peas cook, they will break down when you stir it.

Could I possibly cook this on high for half the time?

Yes, You could. just keep an eye on it because the peas will tend to cook faster on the bottom of the slow cooker so you’ll have to stir them frequently.

Hi Alana, I’ve made this on the stove top many times. Just keep it covered, simmer on low, and stir frequently. When the peas have broken down and are completely soft, it’s done!
