Slow cooker soup recipes. You put a bunch of stuff into the slow cooker, let it sit for 4-8 hours and are awarded with an awesome meal that will last you several days. One favorite recipe from a friend: Ingredients: • 1 (16 oz.) pkg. dried green split peas, rinsed • 1-2 ham hocks, depending on how much of a carnivore you are. • 3 carrots, peeled and sliced • 1/2 cup chopped white onion • 2 ribs of celery plus leaves, chopped • 2 cloves of garlic, minced • 1 bay leaf • 1 tbsp. total Spices: Marjoram, Thyme, Rosemary, Savory, Sage, Oregano, and Basil • 1 tbsp. seasoned salt • 1 tsp. fresh pepper • 1 1/2 liters water Preparation: Layer ingredients in slow cooker in the order given; pour in water. Do not stir ingredients. Cover and cook on HIGH 5 hours or on low 10 hours until peas are very soft and ham falls off bone. Remove bones and bay leaf. Mash peas to thicken more, if desired. If you want healthy - I go for smoothies in the vitamix. Mostly some mesh between fruit and green smoothies.
