Ingredients

    1 can (49-1/2 ounces) chicken broth
    1 to 1/2 pounds smoked ham hocks
    2 cups chopped carrots
    2 cups chopped celery
    2 cups chopped onion
    1 package (16 ounces) dried green split peas
    2 bay leaves
    Salad croutons, optional

Directions

1) In a 4- or 5-qt. slow cooker, combine the broth, ham hocks, vegetables, peas and bay leaves. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until ham hocks and peas are tender.

2) Discard bay leaves. Remove meat from bones when cool enough to handle; cut ham into small pieces and set aside. Cool soup slightly.

3) In a blender, cover and process soup in batches until smooth. Return soup to slow cooker; stir in reserved ham. Heat through. Garnish with croutons if desired. Yield: 7 servings (about 2 quarts).
