What a difference this makes when you leave out the over-powering ham!! This has a fresh, hearty flavor and goes great with fresh-baked bread. I serve it as a main dish during the cold, snowy winter months.

SERVES 8 -10 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 cups split peas, rinsed and sorted
1 cup brown rice, uncooked
8 ounces spinach, thawed
2 celery ribs, sliced
1 onion, diced
2 carrots, sliced
1 turnip, diced
1 medium potato, peel and dice
4 cups vegetable broth
4 cups water
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

1
Place in a crock pot in order given.
2
Cook on low 6-8 hours or high 4-6 hours, stirring every 1 or 2 hours. Add water as necessary 1 or 2 cups at a time.
3
I serve this with my home-made Amish bread--also posted in my recipes!

This had an amazing flavor for such simple ingredients. Don't breeze past this recipe without trying it. I did use oat groats instead of rice (I have a ton to use up) and even after cooking it on low for 9 1/2 hours my split peas still were firm. But the flavor was so good that it just didn't matter. It makes a lot so I'm going to freeze it in individual portions for a quick lunch.

This is delicious, I love it! I did not have a turnip so left it out, but will try it next time. A very hearty soup! I had it in the crockpot for 8 hours and the peas were soft and fabulous. I usually pulse soups a bit with a hand blender, but this one mixed together so well I didn't have to. Thr rice softens up and blends with the peas, you can barely tell it's there. The leftovers taste great! So healthy and satisfying, Thanks for this recipe!

This is a great recipe. I added about 2 cups extra water a few hours before it was done. It tasted wonderful. I had a hard time getting my split peas to completely soften, even cooking it longer, but other then that I will be making this again. Thanks!

This was very good. It IS thick - mine turned out as thick as mashed potatoes - but I liked it hearty. It came out a bit bland so I added about 2 tbsp of "Liquid Smoke" - it gives the soup just a bit of a ham flavor. We also added quite a bit of salt and served the bowls with a dollop of sour cream. We'll do this recipe again.
