Rustic split-pea and potato soup -- ingredients

1 16oz. bag of split-peas (available for less than a dollar at most SuperTarget locations)

1 large red potato, washed and diced (you can leave the skin on for a pleasing texture, or peel it as you prefer)

1 1/2 cups of celery, cleaned and diced

1 1/2 cups of carrots, cleaned and diced

2 small to medium sized bay leaves

7 cups of water

salt and pepper to taste (use red pepper flakes if you like more of a kick)

2 ounces of ham steak, diced (optional; just skip this if you're looking for a vegetarian-friendly soup)

Rustic split-pea and potato soup -- directions

Combine all dry ingredients in your crockpot or slow cooker, and cover with the 7 cups of water. Turn on HIGH and let cook for 6 to 8 hours. The split-peas will naturally break down with the prolonged cooking time, so you don't need to run it through the food processor. Remove bay leaves and serve with fresh crusty bread or biscuits. Serves 6 to 8 bowls
