Ingredients
- 10 cups low-sodium chicken broth 2 pounds dried green split peas, picked over, rinsed, and drained 1 medium onion, diced small 4 small carrots, diced small 1 celery stalk, diced small 1/2 red bell pepper, diced small 4 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon) 1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled) 2 dried bay leaves 2 small ham hocks (1 1/4 pounds total), with several 1/2-inch slits cut into skin Coarse salt and ground pepper
Directions
In a medium pot, bring broth to a boil, then carefully pour into a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker. Add split peas, onion, carrots, celery, bell pepper, garlic, thyme, bay leaves, and ham hocks; season with salt and pepper.
Cover and cook on high until split peas are creamy, 6 hours, stirring occasionally.
Remove ham hocks from pot. Discard skin and bones; dice meat. Discard bay leaves. Lightly mash peas with the back of a wooden spoon. Return ham to soup and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Martha Stewart Member Rating: 3 stars 10/16/2019 I found that it was very thick when it hit the 6 hr mark. I think next time I will do less time, and maybe a few less peas. Otherwise, pretty good soup Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 04/22/2018 This recipe is our favorite pea soup recipe and so easy in the crock pot! After reading the other reviews, I added the stock to the crock pot without heating it up. I also didn't add any extra salt as it seemed to have plenty of seasoning from the ham. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 09/23/2016 Another idea to absorb heat from boiling water place a large metal spoon in crockpot whie pouring water into pot, will absorb heat. I do this when making ices tea in a glass.. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 09/13/2015 Is there a substitute for ham hocks for vegetarians Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 08/18/2015 This soup is delicious! I didn't use the boiling broth for fear of cracking my crockpot insert. I just basically put everything in the pot, covered with broth and let it go for 6 hours on high! I also didn't add salt in the beginning for fear of toughening the peas. I'm glad I didn't because the broth and ham hocks give it such good flavor it really didn't need salt at all!! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 11/10/2013 Beware - the boiling broth may crack your ceramic insert in your crockpot! I was just in the middle of making this soup and boiled the broth on the stove and then slowly poured it into my crockpot when I heard a lot of cracking. It cracked my ceramic insert and now I'm left with a broken crockpot. So bummed. It makes sense as the ceramic insert should heat up slowly with the crockpot. Surprised no one else has had this problem. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 04/26/2013 Delicious. I halved the recipe and made some changes -- used a ham shank, eyeballed the carrots/onions and probably went a little heavier than as written, kept celery, bay leaf -- I make split pea soup often and never used thyme before, but, it was a wonderful addition. DH loves this soup -- it's so easy and a keeper.Martha Stewart Member
