Split Pea Soup

Soups are so easy especially the kind you can put in the crock pot!! I follow a general guide for this soup but I don't really measure and it seems to work out. I like to serve this with corn bread.

Ingredients:

Carrots, chopped (about 1 cup)

Celery, chopped (about 1 cup)

Onion, chopped (1/2 medium onion, or 1/4 cup dried onion)

1 package dried split peas

1 34 oz. container chicken stock

salt and pepper to taste

You can also put a ham hock in this but I find that to be totally gross. I have put in cooked bacon before and cooked it and have done crumbled bacon on top as well.

Directions:

Put all ingredients in crock pot and cook on low for 6 hours or more. You may have to add some water if you cook it longer than the 6 hours.

EASY!!!

You can serve with sour cream and crumbled bacon or just plain.

1 cup = 3 points (bacon and sour cream add points)

Only Cadey will eat this but everyone eats the cornbread. My philosophy lately is I can't please all 6 of us, so I make what I think sounds good and I know Dennis and Cadey will like whatever and the other 3 are hit and miss so they will just have to deal. I just don't know what else to do?? I think it is a common problem, right?
