This is good and easy!!! Split pea soup made in the crock-pot really turns out like soup instead of chunky like a stew. I also used a hock and for more flavor, rather than just putting in water, I boiled my hock and then used that water. I also had a rutabaga, a couple parsnips, and a couple celery stalks to use up so I boiled the rutabaga (that I had peeled and cubed) and sliced parsnips in water as well and used that water. So my water started out with lots of flavor!!!!! I liked the addition of milk too, made it creamy and delicious. It was hard not to stir this and about 2 hours into cooking, I did stir it slightly. This smelled so wonderful cooking all day, I cooked on high for about 4 hours. Thanks for the recipe!!

I also have an eBay business which is a fun hobby that makes a little extra money! My interest in cooking focuses on making healthy dishes that are more satisfying than the higher fat and higher sugar versions.
