Split Pea Soup

Slow-Cooker Split Pea Soup

 A warm, hearty soup is what we crave from September through March and this is the one we turn to time and time again. It's simple, filling, and full of flavor. This soup is so easy to throw together and is great way to use the bone from your spiral ham. If you would rather make this vegetarian just leave out the ham bone and use vegetable broth instead!
