If you like your soup thinner, add some milk or cream.Want it creamy? Use an immersion blender.Either way, serve this pea soup with some fresh bread, and enjoy!

Slow Cooker Tips ...

  • Get the vegetables peeled and chopped the night before, making sure the chopped potatoes are put in a bowl and covered with water so that they don't turn brown. In the morning, just put all the vegetables (drained potatoes), meat, spices, peas, and water into the crock pot and turn on.
  • You may have to adjust the times to suit your slow cooker. Times will vary with different brands of cookers (crockpots). Keep track of the settings and times you use for the various recipes to help gauge times for new recipes.
  • If you like your soup thicker, once it is cooked, turn cooker to high, remove lid and simmer till desired consistency is reached. Stir occasionally so that it doesn't stick to the bottom.
