Cutting Board
- 1 cup dried green split peas, rinsed
- 3 carrots, peeled and sliced
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Add the rinsed split peas, sliced carrots, diced potatoes, diced onion, and minced garlic to the crockpot.
Pour the vegetable broth over the vegetables and peas.
Stir in the dried thyme, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper.
Cover and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours until the peas are soft and the soup has thickened.
Remove the bay leaf before serving.
If the soup thickens too much after sitting, stir in a splash of broth or water when reheating. Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to four days and taste even better the next day once the flavors settle.
