ingredients
- 2 -3 cups split peas
-
optional
- thick slice smoked ham or 2 boneless pork chops
- chopped onion
- 2 chopped garlic cloves
- 1 -2 tablespoon olive oil or 1 -2 tablespoon butter
- 4 -6 cups water or 4 -6 cups chicken broth
- 2 cubed potatoes, about 1 c

- salt
- pepper
- herbs
- seasoning, of choice (bay, red pepper flakes, curry powder or ?)
-
optional

directions
- Soak peas over-night, drain, and add fresh water or broth. In crockpot cook the peas with water/broth/onion/garlic/ham until peas are very soft & ham is tender, low setting is best. You may need to stir occasionally to avoid burning, especially if you use high setting.
- Puree or smash about half of this mixture. Ham will fall apart.
- Add veggies, salt, pepper, herbs/seasoning during the last hour.
- Serve with a spoonful of sour cream/yoghurt and a drizzle of dry sherry on top if you need extra comforting.
