*Buy one lb. bag of dried split peas. Get 2 if you really like pea soup.
*Dump in your crockpot with 2 chicken boullion cubes per bag.
*Add water. A lot.
*Enough so that peas come only 1/2 way up in the water.
*Now dump in one roughly chopped small onion or 1/2 a big one and a couple smush whacked cloves of garlic (that's when you give em' a smash with the side of your big knife.
*Add some carrots. However many you like. If you are very lazy dump them in whole.
*Oh add a bay leaf or or two
Turn crockpot on low.
Go away for a long time. Like all day.
It will probably look weird when you come back. Stir it and it will start to look more like you are used to. If it is too thick you can add a little more water. Fish out the carrots now if you were too lazy to cut them before. Use tongs so you do not burn yourself. Now you can cut them up with your butter knife.
Add salt and pepper to taste (a little garlic salt even if you like). If you like ham you can chop some up and put it in now.
Time to eat. I like to eat mine with croutons and tabasco sauce. Goes well with beer. Yum.
*note if you are not Megan and you DO eat ham I recommend substituting the boullion cubes for a few ham hocks or neck bones. Will change your life!!
