Amazing!!!!! I only used 6 cups of chicken broth per other reviews and that was the perfect amount! I also did not add potatoes. Followed everything else to a tee. It was ready on low in 5 hours. Love the simplicity of throwing this recipe together. And yes, it is mushy but that is how I know all of my split pea soups to be. Will make again!

delicious! I put the sausage in just long enough to heat it up, or else it loses its flavor.

I had a hankering for split pea soup and used the above recipe for my crockpot. I had a hamsteak with a bone which I chopped up and used about a cup full in the recipe. I used homemade chicken broth instead of bouillon cubes because I had it on hand. After turning the crockpot off, I took out the bayleaf, and let it cool down and placed in the fridge. The next day I pureed it in the blender. This split pea soup is very very good! Thanks for the recipe!

Wow, I love this soup! I followed the recipe, the only change being that I used ham instead of sausage. When it was done I removed the cubed ham, pureed the soup, then added the ham back in. It had a creamy texture and was just right with salt and spices. I agree with the other reviews that this makes a lot of soup. Mine was filled to the brim.

This turned out ok; alot better than canned soup! But I wish I'd read the reviews beforehand. I would have known to add less water. Will keep the recipe though to tweak it a little.

This is a good base recipe but I didn't feel it had enough herbs in it and it was definitely too runny for my taste. I also tried it with Italian Sausage and the oregano flavor was too strong. Perhaps I simply don't love oregano enough to love this recipe as is! However, over time I've modified it down to a version that my family loves!!! Everyone has several bowlfuls when I make it. I've saved a custom version of my changes for anyone interested.

I make this with ground turkey (browned) instead of sausage. First time was out of necessity (that was all I had), now I only make it that way - healthier and still delicious. Husband loves it, too. This soup has definitely become part of my standard slow cooker dinners.

excellent. My only problem was that the ham steak I added tasted like nothing at the end. I think next time I'll add it near the end of cooking or try the sausage.

Great recipe! Extremely easy to throw together. I used pork bones ( didn't have any sausage). My hubby & 10 year old LOVED it. This goes into my recipe box for sure. Thanks
