Ingredients

    1 16-oz pkg split peas
    5 slices turkey bacon, cubed
    1 Tbsp olive oil
    1 C. thinly sliced celery
    1 C. chopped carrots
    1 med onion, chopped
    2 med potatoes, cut into 1/2" cubes
    12-oz can 99% FF chicken broth
    ~5 C water, mixed with
    1 reduced sodium chicken bullion cube

Directions

1) saute onion, celery and carrots in the oil until tender.
2) while the vegetables are cooking, cook the turkey bacon until it is almost crispy.
3) sort through the peas and take out any icky ones.
4) add water, broth, peas, saute'd vegetables, and bacon to a pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for about an hour, until the vegetables are tender and the peas are starting to disintegrate. If you are using the crock pot, cook on low for about 6 hours. My crock runs hot, so it took only about 4 hours.

This made about 8 generous 1-C servings.
