How to make split pea and ham soup in a slow cooker.

Split pea and ham soup is a family favorite of ours every winter. We always get a spiral-cut ham for Christmas and Easter. After the holiday, we save the ham bone, along with some cubed ham. When things slow down, I make a batch of this seasonal favorite! It keeps you warm and happy when it is cold and blustery outside!

Prep time of 15 minutes.
Slow cooker for 6 hours.
Put it on at noon and it is ready for dinner at 6PM!

Ingredients:
1 ham bone
1 pound ham (cubed)
2 - 1 pound bags of split peas (rinsed)
1 yellow onion (chopped)
6-10 red or gold potatoes (cubed)
20-30 baby carrots (Chopped)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
8 cubes - chicken or beef bullion
8-10 cups of water
