Split Pea Soup

This is the best split pea soup I have ever tasted and it is really easy.

Save the ham hock after you cook a ham.

This freezes really well. I freeze 2 cup individual serving.

Ingredients

• 1 lb bag dried green split peas
• 1 bunches green onions chopped
• 1 1/2 cups diced carrots
• 1/2 cup diced celery
• 2 tsp minced garlic
• 1/2 tsp pepper (I use fresh cracked pepper)
• 3 chicken bouillon cubes
• 1 ham hock (you should still have some meat left on bone)

Instructions

1. Put all ingredients and 7 cups of water in crock pot
2. Cook on high for 6 hours or low for 12 hours
3. Remove ham and cut off meat from bone. Dice meat and return to soup.
4. Stir soup and serve.

Yum! It looks unappetising but tastes really good.
