Intro
*** This is recipe is a real jewel for a busy person, who wants to feed a family with a quality food. If you don't have slow cooker just yet - get one. Slow cooker is a must IMHO. It allows you to throw ingredients into a pot, forget about it for a few hours, and then, opening up a lid, breath in a wonderful aroma of a healthy meal.
*** I cooked pea soup million times, different ways, with a different vegetables, with a chicken, with a smoked meat, and so on. Almost always a soup was a hit, flavorful and delicious. But there were one problem. especially when using smoked meats - it was often not-easily digested, with some sort of indigestion, heavy feeling in a stomach and such. Not with this recipe! It was 100 percent scrumptiously delish and 100 percent consequences free ;)
*** Truly vegetarian, this soup has a minimum easily obtainable ingredients and simple 1-2-3 steps. Shell we?
What is it?
Dry green split peas, some carrots, onion, celery, garlic and splash of olive oil are brewed in a slow cooker into smooth soothing concoction - true pea soup, beautiful in its simplicity and flavor.

Taste Description
Taste and texture is mild and smooth, with a tiny soft specks of remaining unblended pieces of vegetables. Pea taste and flavor is prevalent and satisfying. This softness combines nicely with a bright crunch of croutons, served along and with a dosed kick from black pepper, freshly ground over a bowl.
Variations
- As I mentioned above, it may be numerous variation there. To me this one is the optimal everyday version, my favorite one.
- All right. Instead of croutons, sprinkle bacon on top, mister Meatlover :)))
