I haven't been to a supermarket in weeks. I used to go three times a week. I would make the trip to buy a week's worth of groceries, three days later I would crave something special for dinner, go back again, and leave with more items than I intended to buy and so on. Sound familiar? Well those days are gone!
Now my pantry is stocked. This meal costs less than a can of soup! Here's the recipe enjoy!
Here's what you'll need:
1 can of chicken broth
1 onion, or 3 cloves of garlic 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper.
1/2 teaspoon salt.
2 carrots.
1 celery stalk.
1 package of green split peas, or 2 ¼ cups dried split peas.
6 cups of cold water.
*Optional 1 1/2 pounds of ham bone

Step 1
Finely chop carrots, celery and onion.
Step 2
Place all contents in slow cooker and set it on high for 6 hours.
