Ingredients

  • 1 (14 ounce) bag dried split peas

  • 1 ham hock

  • 3 slices bacon, chopped

  • 2 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth

  • 3 ½ cups water, plus more as needed

  • 4 small potatoes, peeled and diced

  • 2 carrots, peeled and diced

  • 1 leek, diced

  • ½ large onion, diced

  • 2 stalks celery with leaves, stalks diced and leaves chopped

  • 1 clove garlic, diced

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme

  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves

  • 1 (1 pound) package smoked sausage, sliced

Directions

  1. Place dried split peas, ham hock, and bacon into slow cooker; pour in chicken broth and 3 1/2 cups water.

  2. Cover cooker and cook on High until peas are tender and broken apart, 3 to 4 hours. Stir in more water as needed to prevent soup from burning on the bottom. Stir occasionally throughout cooking.

  3. Stir potatoes, carrots, leek, onion, celery, and garlic into soup; mix in more water, if needed. Cover and cook soup on High for 2 more hours.

  4. Season with salt, black pepper, thyme, nutmeg, and cloves; mix sausage slices into soup. Cover and cook 2 more hours to blend the flavors.
