The Best Slow Cooker Split Pea Soup You've Ever Had

Now that fall and the rainy season are here, nothing tastes better for dinner than a hearty cup of soup! I have been hunting down the best soup recipes to try at least once a week. A few weeks ago, I made this delicious Zuppa Toscana recipe by Spend with Pennies. It is a copycat recipe of Olive Garden's version (but tastes way better!) and it was to die for! 

Last night, I made Split Pea Soup because I had some leftover ham from the weekend. And when I say ham I literally just mean sandwich meat. You can use any old ham you want for this recipe- whatever you have laying around. I used a mixture of ham and Costco bacon crumbles. It was perfect!

Fall is my absolute favorite time of year! I love everything about it. The crisp weather, layering clothing, leaves changing color, carving pumpkins, and of course my two favorite holidays: Halloween and Thanksgiving!
