Sausage Split Pea Soup
Ingredients
1 pound Smoked sausage, sliced medium thin (turkey smoked sausage preferred)
1 Onion large, chopped fine
1 Potato, large, scrubbed and diced (don’t peel it)
1 pound Split peas
1 Bay leaf
1/2 tsp. Black pepper.
7 C. Water
Cooking Instructions
Combine everything in a crock pot and cook on low for at least 8 hours. Stir thoroughly before serving. To thicken the soup a bit without adding calories, puree about 2 C. of the soup in a food processor and stir it back into the soup. Italian variation: Pre-cook 1 pound of sweet or hot Italian sausage by steaming 15 minutes in about 1/2 inch of water in a skillet or by cooking at 5-minute intervals in a microwave oven. When cool enough to handle, slice the sausage.
