Andersen's Split Pea Soup (Crock Pot Version) Copycat

This came from the Los Angeles Times via Liz at Recipegoldmine.com. It was a stove top soup, but the closest I've yet found to Anderson's which is a tradition in California. I modified it just a bit for the crock pot and made it a hair thicker to suit our tastes. You can also add bacon, ham, or ham hocks to enhance the flavor a bit.

Thanks for the great recipe and thanks to the previous reviewers for their feedback. I followed the suggestions of So Cal Gal (April 11, 2010), cooking the veggies, (plus, a bit of garlic), and using some low-sodium chicken broth.... I also used Lawry's seasoning salt in place of table salt......It was just wonderful and filled the house with a fantastic aroma. Garnished it with a bit of chopped Black Forest Ham.....Delish!1Reply
