Vegetarian Slow Cooker Split Pea Soup

This comforting vegetarian and vegan split pea soup takes just a few minutes to prepare for the slow cooker.

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 7 hours
Total Time 7 hours 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 (16 oz.) bag dried split peas
  • 1 yellow onion, peeled and diced
  • 3 carrots, diced
  • 3 celery stalks, diced
  • 1 teaspoon salt, plus more as needed
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper, plus more as needed
  • 1 dried bay leaf
  • ½ cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 7 cups vegetable broth

Instructions

  1. Rinse dried peas several times and drain. Place peas in the slow cooker and the rest of the ingredients. Stir to combine. Cover and set slow cooker to low for 6-8 hours.
  2. Remove bay leaf and thyme stems. Use a whisk to stir the soup and break up the peas. Add water if needed to thin. If you like your soup smoother, use an immersion blender to blend. Season to taste with more salt and pepper. I like to serve my split pea soup with toasted baguette slices for dipping.
