Here's mine.





Get a bag of split peas and put them in the crockpot with some chopped up red onion, garlic, celery, a couple diced potatoes, a few bay leaves, and about 5 cups of water. Put it on high and stir every hour to break down the potatoes. Meanwhile, saute some sliced sausages (any flavor, but I like the garlic ones). Add those towards the end. Remove bay leaves and eat! Oh and if it's too soupy for you, add some instant potato flakes to thicken it. I like my pea soup thick.
Try Campbells split pea soup. It is very good. Read the direction on the can.
