I use bacon instead of ham and frozen hash brown potatoes in this pea soup. It’s a good winter comfort food and smells wonderful while cooking. It freezes well, so when my husband and I are busy all day, its a quick dinner for us. I add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to spice it up a bit. You can also cook whole bacon strips in the microwave until lightly browned. Transfer to paper towels and let cool; crush or tear into small pieces.
Ingredients
- ¼ pound bacon, chopped
- 1 pound split peas, rinsed
- 1/3 (20 ounce) package frozen southern-style hash brown potatoes (such as Ore Ida®)

- 3 ribs celery, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes, or more to taste (Optional)
- 8 cups chicken broth

Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
Step 2
Place bacon, split peas, hash brown potatoes, onion, carrots, celery, garlic, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and chicken broth in a slow cooker; stir to combine.

Cook on Low for 8 hours (or High for 6 hours).
