Slow Cooker Split Pea Soup

"You already know I'm a soup junky. And a slow cooker junkie. Well, maybe you didn't know that I also love peas! And this Slow Cooker Split Pea Soup makes me happy. Even my husband who despises peas really likes this soup. I won't lie and tell you it's pretty because, hey - we're talking about peas. But what it lacks in sex appeal, it definitely makes up for in flavor. This recipe freezes beautifully, so you can make a giant batch and put half away for another time. I like to serve it with corn bread or pumpkin biscuits and whipped maple cinnamon butter. It's perfect for cuddling up on the couch when it's cool out, or enjoying around the fire pit with friends."
