Equipment

  • Slow Cooker
  • Measuring Cups

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup dried green split peas
  • 2 cups diced ham
  • 2 cups frozen carrots
  • 1 cup frozen chopped onion
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Add the dried split peas, diced ham, frozen carrots, frozen chopped onion, chicken broth, dried thyme, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper to the slow cooker.
  • Stir once to combine everything evenly.
  • Cover and cook on low for 7 hours until the split peas are soft and the stew has thickened.
  • Remove the bay leaves before serving.

Notes

If the stew thickens too much after cooking, stir in a splash of extra broth to loosen it. Leftovers store well in the fridge for three days and reheat nicely on the stove with a little water added. Skip the salt at the start if your ham is very salty and adjust at the end instead.
