Love split pea,and for me no ham,for lower sodium. Thanks for cooking Oolivia,Amy,and Pats ,FAVORITE!❤❤❤

You guys are so kind, I appreciate it! I'm not sure if you've tried this, while the ham is cooking you can remove some of the water and replacing that water with fresh water every hour, since the ham takes a long time to cook. That will remove almost all the sodium. After the ham is nice and tender place them with the split pea to finish the cooking process💕💕💕

I especially like that left the ham pieces pretty large and hearty. I usually shred meat until it's barely recognizable which I won't be doing again! Thanks for that!

How timely! Just got home from the grocery with the ham and split peas. This is one of my faves this time of year too.

That's awesome! enjoy my friend..

I have been looking at a bunch of recipes for crock pot ham and pea soup. This is by far the very best one. Most are so watery you could drink it. Yours looks like a hearty meal. Thank you so much for posting this.

Wow, thank you! and it tastes even better the next day. Enjoy❤️

Looks great. Creamy rather than soupy looking. I have a finicky wife who is into creamy bisque soups. I like that you don’t have to use an immersion blender or cream to get this appearance. I like idea of Maggi cube for Unami flavor.

Thanks for such a great comment, hope you guys enjoy it!

It looks sssooo good my dad used to make this when I was a kid & I have been craving some. I’m going to use your recipe

[@mykitchenkreations]

Reading this made me so happy, and I hope it's just as good as your dad's recipe. Enjoy💕

What a coincidence! I am making this same soup as I write this---except I am cooking on the range-top, not in a slow cooker. I used almost the exact same recipe. I wondered if my soup was looking like it is supposed to look, and seeing your finished soup, I see mine looks identical! Thank you for posting this and Happy new Year!

[@mykitchenkreations]

Thanks for such a great comment, I'm glad your soup turned out great. Happy New year !!!

I'm sitting here with a ham bone and a package of split peas, and it's about twenty degrees outside! The only thing I question is whether to soak the green peas overnight. It doesn't say to on the package, but I did it last time. Is soaking it overnight more beneficial?

[@mykitchenkreations]

Hi! No need to soak them overnight. Just add them to the broth and cook.
