Split pea soup is my ALL TIME favorite soup and there's no better way to make it than in the slow cooker! It's creamy, healthy, and it doesn't get any easier than throwing everything in a slow cooker!
You can tell just from reading this ingredient list that it's going to be packed full of flavor!
Here's what you need to make the slow cooker split pea soup.
- 16 ounces dry split peas
- 3 large carrots
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 3 ribs of celery
- 3 garlic cloves
- 8 ounces diced ham
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 6 cups chicken broth
Now, I don't always do this but sometimes I like to add some fun shaped noodles in the soup to really fill up my kids' bellies! If you want to add the noodles, just boil them in a separate pot and add them in at the end.

my husband loves split pea soup. I usually make it after I serve a ham, so I will keep the ham bone and make stock to make the soup with it!
Coco and Ash says
It's a perfect use for left over ham!
Elaine says
Haha, those funny shapes in the soup do the trick for adults, too! Tried it many times 🙂 Great recipe!
Coco and Ash says
Thanks Elaine! Shape foods are the best!

I made this last night while it was snowing outside and I have to say that it’s truly one of THE best soups I’ve ever eaten! And it couldn’t be an easier to make...dump it all in and forget it!
Coco and Ash says
That makes me so happy! Thank you!
Lisa says
Did you use an immersion blender to smooth everything out?
Coco and Ash says
I did not. As the peas cook, they will break down when you stir it.
Natalie says
Could I possibly cook this on high for half the time?
Coco and Ash says
Yes, You could. just keep an eye on it because the peas will tend to cook faster on the bottom of the slow cooker so you'll have to stir them frequently.
Alana says
How do I adjust for stovetop?
Coco and Ash says
Hi Alana, I've made this on the stove top many times. Just keep it covered, simmer on low, and stir frequently. When the peas have broken down and are completely soft, it's done!
Jean says
Easy and delicious!
