Why you are going to love our Slow Cooker Split Pea Soup Recipe

Even down here in balmy Miami...I enjoy a good soup or stew when the temperatures drop!

Sometimes I enjoy a bowl of soup JUST BECAUSE, but especially when I am feeling under the weather.

There's just something about a warm bowl of hearty goodness that relaxes me and makes me all cozy in my bed while I binge watch Netflix or Hulu!

Soups, stews and chilis are the BEST comfort foods when you're feeling sick and sluggish.

I recently had a bad cold, which resulted in a sore throat, and ALL I ate was soft pastas and soups!

Slow Cooker Soup Recipes are the Best!

Bonus...it's cooked in a slow cooker, so all you have to do is dump the ingredients and forget it! This is especially helpful when you are not feeling your best, as you can throw all of the ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning.

Then when you get up to shower and take your meds, then it is all ready for you when you get hungry later!

I absolutely love slow cookers and use mine for a TON of different recipes. I began using one back when I was married and working full time, as it was such a struggle to have a homemade meal on the table every day after working all day.

I started out with a small, regular sized one, and then eventually, I upgraded to a large one that I still use to this day!
