Slow Cooker Split Pea Sausage Soup

Split pea is one of my favorite soups and this recipe jazzes the regular split pea up a bit.

1 pound dried split peas

10 cups water

1 pound smoked sausage of your choice, sliced

5 cubes chicken bouillon

1 1/2 cups chopped carrot

1 cup chopped celery

2 potatoes, peeled and chopped

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

2 bay leaves

1 onion, chopped

In a 5 quart slow cooker, combine the peas, water, sausage, bouillon, carrot, celery, potatoes, garlic powder, oregano, bay leaves, and onion.

Cover, and cook on High for 4 to 5 hours. Remove bay leaves before ladling into bowls.
