SLOW COOKER SPLIT PEA SOUP WITH BACON AND HASH BROWNS



Slow Cooker Split Pea Soup with Bacon and Hash Browns image

I use bacon instead of ham and frozen hash brown potatoes in this pea soup. It's a good winter comfort food and smells wonderful while cooking. It freezes well, so when my husband and I are busy all day, its a quick dinner for us. I add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to spice it up a bit. You can also cook whole bacon strips in the microwave until lightly browned. Transfer to paper towels and let cool; crush or tear into small pieces.

Time 6h30m

Yield 6 servings

1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley, plus 8 to 10 parsley stems
4 sprigs thyme
1 pound green split peas, picked over and rinsed
1 large leek, white and light green part only, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
