Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound dry green split peas picked over, rinsed well, and drained
  • 1 onion cut into large chunks
  • 3 carrots peeled and cut into large pieces
  • 2 cloves garlic peeled
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 cups diced ham
  • 2 cups shredded hash browns
  • 1 bay leaves
  • 1-32 ounce carton low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 cups water
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish optional

Instructions
 

  • Place the carrot, onion and garlic into a food processor. Pulse until well diced. You can also dice the carrot, onion and garlic by hand but I prefer to let the food processor do all the heavy lifting.
  • In a 4- or 5-qt. slow cooker, combine all ingredients. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until peas are tender. Taste and add additional salt and pepper as needed. Remove bay leaf and serve.
