- 3 stalks celery, with leaves, finely chopped

directions
- Cook the sausage in a large skillet over high heat.
- Render the fat and remove all but 2 tablespoons from the skillet.
- Add in the onion, carrots, celery, and thyme; saute until the vegetables are softened, about 3 minutes.
- Transfer the contents of the skillet to the insert of a 5- to 7-quart slow cooker.
- Add the remaining ingredients, except salt and pepper, and stir to combine.
- Cover and cook on HIGH for 4-5 hours or on LOW for 8-10 hours, until the peas have split and the soup is thick.

- Season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
