Lentil Pea Soup

Just a quick pop-in to post a new recipe! Made this tonight for supper and it was a hit! Perfect with fresh bread =)

1 bag split peas, sorted and rinsed

1 bag lentils, sorted and rinsed

10 cups water (half chicken stock is what I did)

2 cups cubed ham

1 sweet onion, chopped or pureed

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

1/4 tsp thyme

3 celery stalks, chopped small

3 carrots, chopped small

2 potatoes, cubed small

2 minced garlic cloves

Put everything in crock pot on high. Simmer 8 hours or so in a crock pot. I put it going at 8 am and it was ready about 4:30. Otherwise, simmer in pot until done, about 2 hours. 

Serve warm with fresh bread for BEST taste =)
