As I promised yesterday in my Green With Envy post, I’m going to share my favorite Green Slip Pea soup recipe.

Green Split Pea Soup

Ingredients:

• 1 Medium onion, chopped
• 2 Cloves garlic, minced
• 2 Stalks celery, sliced
• 3 Carrots, sliced
• 3 Potatoes, scrubbed and chopped
• 1 Bag or 2 cups green split peas, picked through and rinsed
• 6 Cups vegetable broth
• 1 Teaspoon marjoram
• 1 Teaspoon basil
• 1/2 Teaspoon parsley
• 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Combine Ingredients in the slow cooker and cook on low 6-8 hours or high 4-5 hours. Serve with bread to dip and a garden salad. Note: if you’re anxious to get soup on the table you can combine ingredients in a pot and simmer for about an hour until veggies are cooked and beans fall apart. Makes 6 servings.
