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. From ye olde recipe box
