This came from the Los Angeles Times via Liz at Recipegoldmine.com. It was a stove top soup, but the closest I've yet found to Anderson's which is a tradition in California. I modified it just a bit for the crock pot and made it a hair thicker to suit our tastes. You can also add bacon, ham, or ham hocks to enhance the flavor a bit.

SERVES 8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

6 cups water
2 cups split peas, rinsed and picked over
1 stalk celery, coarsely chopped
1 large carrot, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1 dash red pepper
1 bay leaf
salt
pepper

Directions

1
Combine water, peas, celery, carrot, onion, thyme, red pepper and bay leaf in crock pot.
2
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
3
Cook on low until split peas and vegetables are tender (anywhere from 6-8 hours).
4
Press soup through fine sieve and reheat just to boiling point or use hand blender to smooth.

i was a little disappointed by the lack of flavor in this soup. however, with a boatload of salt and pepper added it is more to my liking. i will make this again- just with more spices. thanks for posting

Made this yesterday and added a little canadian back bacon to it, plus some rosemary. I also had about 1.5 cups of leftover mashed potato that I tossed in near the end, as well. My fiance and I both really liked it and I'm looking forward to having some leftovers for lunch, as I suspect it will taste even better. Thanks!
