Made this many times. Used Country Style Pork Ribs, 2#. Wow! I add the potato, carrot, celery after 4 hours. Cook til the fifth hour. I Think 8 cups of water is the go to like everyone says here.
Alex Pierce
Easy and love it.
Dale Middleton
I wish I read the reviews before I made it, I would have added less water…other than the amount of water it’s delicious!
Bridget Hill
Yummy! I did as others suggested to decrease water by 2 cups and it was perfect for me. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
Anthony Bonilla
Very tasty. When I make it again I will either use a little less water or add more peas. I did have to thicken it up for My taste. I added a little cornstarch and I pulled out some of the peas and potatoes and pureed them and re-added. I definitely recommend this recipe.
Samantha Huynh
Made it at the fire station. We were expecting more flavor and thicker texture. I would decrease the water by 2 cups and add another chicken bouillon cube.

This soup was amazing! Both my husband and son could not get enough of it. Instead of sausage, I added the bone from a left over spiral ham and followed others with only 8 cups of chicken stock. Amazing…thanks for sharing!

I never realized how easy it is to make split pea soup in the slow cooker! I did make a few changes due to personal preference. I used all chicken stock, cubed ham, no oregano, used Rosemary instead. Kept the rest the same. I was done in 3 hours on high in my slow cooker. The peas were cooked through, not mushy, not crunchy; just right! The soup itself was nice and creamy. A definite keeper! Thank you 4 sharing.

I’ve made this before and really liked it. I thawed the meat and prepped the veggies this morning to make it again… only to discover I only have half the amount of peas. So I’ve substituted 1/2 barley. We shall see how this turns out!!!
Robin Brown
Loved this. I wanted to use up a ham bone so used it instead of the sausage, but look forward to using that next time. Split Pea soup is my favorite! I didn’t have a large slow cooker so added 5-6 c water instead. Didn’t have an onion or bay leaves either. Use what you have while quarantined. It was delicious! This will be my go to recipe now. I was using Better Homes & Garden recipe, but no comparison! Yum!!

I’ve made this recipe several times. I end up using a large can of beer along with stock. It’s very convenient and leftovers keep well.
Melissa Jefferson
I didn’t have potatoes to thicken so I just used two cups less water.
Alice Ortiz
I halved the amount and used beef broth for half the water. I liked it a lot.
Ashley Pineda
This is a great recipe although it does take longer than 5hrs to cook I would say 7minimum if you want a nick thick soup I did use ham instead of sausage because that is what I had and did only use 8cups of water instead of 10 because I have a smaller crockpot but over all a great recipe

I stopped using my slow cooker some time ago, as I feel there is less control over recipes like this. I like to be able to take off the cover and check seasoning and perhaps add an ingredient that might be missing and quickly return it to cooking temperature. Instead I made it in a favorite stock pot and poked and prodded and tasted till it was perfect. And it is a wonderful soup. Jim

Used turkey sausage and 2 bouillon cubes. I love this.
Jose Gregory
I modified the recipe by substituting diced smoked ham instead of sausage and cut the water down to 6 cups it was perfectly thick. Very tasty but Does make quite a bit of soup, great for a group !
Paul Edwards
As written, the recipe comes out a little thin. I prefer to reduce the water to 8 cups. This does make a lot of soup, but it freezes well for leftovers at a later date.
Jason Taylor
My family love it.
David Powers Jr.
Double the sausage.
Craig Tucker
My family and friends all love this recipe. I used 1/2 water and 1/2 chicken broth. I added fresh garlic in place of the powdered and added smoked ham and smoked sausage as well as a ham bone. Cooked on the stove for 3 hours and then transfered to a crock pot to keep warm
