The ingredients for Terry's Split pea soup are:

1 lb split peas
1 celery stalk halved and chopped
1 white onion cut and chopped
8 cups of water
1 ham shank with fat and meat
2 small carrots chopped
6 salt free crackers

Here is how you make Terry's Split pea soup:

Makes 6 cup servings. 8 cups of water into slow cooker or crock pot. Add 1 lb of split peas rinsed. Make sure to check for stones. Chop onion, celery and carrots and put into slow cooker or crock pot. Add Ham shank or diced ham. If your crock pot only has a high or low setting, set it to high for the first 3-4 hours stirring often. This will soften the dried peas. After this turn on low for 4 hours or untill the peas are like mush. You will be able to tell from the color and thickness of the soup. If you are using a ham hock, remove about 45 min before serving and seperate meat from bone and put meat back into soup. This is a great meal for those cool nights when you just want a hearty soup. You can add the oyster crackers, or break up the saltines into the soup or have a piece of bread on the side. Enjoy!Number of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user TLPSR523.
