I used less water like everyone said and used sweet Italian sausage that I browned beforehand. It was very good.

Love it. I have never had split pea soup. I had my dad taste test it to see how it would compare to others. He said it was the best he has ever had. A keeper. Thanks.

This was very good and easy to make. I only used 8 cups of water though and cooked for 5 hours on high, then low for two and it turned out great!

This is tonight's dinner, along with store-bought dinner rolls. DELICIOUS. I am glad I read the reviews. I used one 49 1/2 oz can and one 14 1/2 oz can of chicken broth. I didn't change anything else, other than not paring the red potatoes because I like the color. Really good. It could have been a bit thicker, even, so next time I'll just use the 49 1/2 oz can of chicken broth, or maybe try vegetable. YUMMY!!!

Amazing, even my 9 & 5 year old kids loved this. Husband went back for seconds too!! I used 1lb of sweet Italian sausage squeezed from the casing and fried instead of the smoked sausage. I also used 8 cups of water instead of 10 because I only have a 4qut crock pot. I ended up cooking it on High for about 5 hours and then low another 2 because I forgot about it :) it turned out great anyways and was nice and thick and creamy. Went great with a box of Jiffy cornbread, an effortless meal to walk in the door to! A definite keeper, THANKS!!

great flavor! I too was in a hurry and did not read the reviews that mentioned using less water. I was able to fix it by pureeing 1/3 of the soup (remove the sausage first!). Thanks for the recipe!

Good soup with a few changes to suit our tastes. I used chicken stock in lieu of the water and instead of the smoked sausage I took Italian sausage out of the casings, browned, drained and added to the soup. Delicious and thanks!

Found this quickly and so didn't read reviews otherwise would have used less water, even making it, it seems too much so used 1 cup less and it was too thin, I like thick pea soup. But flavor was really terrific and my husband just about ate the batch in one sitting. Will make again with more beans or less water and cook a little longer.

Really really good. Especially if you like split pea soup. However, I made it with leftover honeybaked ham from thanksgiving, and it was wonderful. Great comfort food! Easy too!

I was looking for something new to do with smoked sausage and just happened to have some split peas too. It tasted wonderful even though I left out the carrots. Thanks!

This recipe was great!! I made the soup for 4 servings and took the advice of others and eliminated some of the water. (4 servings called for 5 cups of water and I used 3 cups). It was great to come up from work and have HOT soup. This is a keeper! Thanks for sharing your recipe Dorothy!

I used smokies for the sausage and added some hot suace. Also 6 cups of water is more than enough if you like your soup thick. Turned out fantastic. It freezes well and tastes even better the second day. Thanks for the recipe

I did exactly what the recipe said except I ommit the potatoes and ham. I ended up cooking it in the slow cooker for over 12 hours because I didn't realize how low, the low was! Before I turned it up to high, I ended up using a handheld blender to break up the split peas since it was still hard. I kept it on high for approx. 2 hours and I was finally able to smell the delicious aroma of the soup. It made much more servings than I anticipated but it's a easy, and a tasty recipe. My husband loved it! Thanks for sharing.

Unlike others, I used all of the required liquid substituting about half a cup of water with milk. The longer it cooked, the thicker it got. My husband won't touch split pea soup, but he loved this with the cut up sausage. I quartered the slices of sausage and only used about 2/3 of the package, as I don't really care for the sausage. I will definitely make this again.

This soup was fabulous! The only change I made was I used ham chunks instead of sausage. This was my first successful split pea soup and I will definitely make this again and again.

Pretty good recipe, but I also agree with the "too watery" comments...and I only used 8 cups of liquid (6 cups water + 2 cups chicken broth). I'll make this again because it's easy and flavorful, but I kept it in the slow cooker for 11 hours on low and I'll use maybe 6 cups of liquid in the future (I like thick soup without much broth).

Sooo good! My husband loves it. It takes a little time to dice everything up, but it's worth it. It has a wonderful flavor. I add a little more salt to satisfy our tastes. I have passed this recipe on to all of my family. They love it as well.
