Fantastic soup, tastes just like mom used to make. Very easy to make. I did boil the peas on the stove for a few minutes first then threw everything in the crockpot, I didn't have any problem with foaming at all.

This recipe was good but I did add about 3 potatoes cut into cubes. I think the chicken boullion gave it much richer flavor.

This is the best! I used ham and sweet pototoes and it was great.

I love to make crockpot meals if I can during the week. This was good and so easy to put together. The only thing I added were some mashed potatoes at the end, it was just a tad bit runny for our taste. Otherwise will be making this again.
