![]() There’s more history to this soup than I thought! I called my dad for help, expecting a “oh just pour a bunch in” type of response, but I was pleasantly surprised when he matter-of-factly, without hesitation, stated “6 cups.” Apparently that’s what he learned from observing my grandpa back in the day, and hearing that gave me warm and fuzzies. Too little and you’re scraping burnt peas off the bottom of the pot. Too much broth and you’ve got a disappointing, runny soup. Once I got in the kitchen to make this myself, I was successful in chopping vegetables and documenting amounts, but when it came to adding the liquid, I was stuck. I noted his cooking style of throwing arbitrary amounts of veggies and ham into the pot with a bag o’ peas and chicken broth, and thought, “Oh man, how am I going to write this recipe?” Over the holidays, I loosely observed him as he made this soup because I knew this was a recipe I wanted to share on the blog. My mom’s specialty is the wild rice and ham soup (side note: I’ve got an adaptation of it coming real soon!), and Dad’s in charge of the Split Pea and Ham. The week following Christmas is when the soup-making begins and my mom and dad each get to work on their respective soups. The making of this Slow Cooker Split Pea and Ham soup is an annual tradition in my family, which begins with the Christmas feast of John Morrell (the brand that has turned me into a holiday ham snob) ham with pineapple glaze and a whole host of other dishes like cheesy shredded potato casserole.

We’ve included our favorite recipe for chicken alfredo, and a few new ones too. And don’t even get us started on alfredo sauce. And Parmesan isn’t just for tomato sauce!
