  • 7-8 cups vegetable broth

  • 16 oz dried split peas

  • 1 medium onion, quartered

  • 1 carrot, roughly chopped

  • 1 ½ cups fresh spinach

  • 1 bay leaf

  • 2 cloves garlic

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ¼ tsp pepper

  • 1 tsp. Liquid Smoke

Add all ingredients to slow cooker, and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours. When soft, remove the bay leaf, and put the rest of the soup in a blender (in batches) and blend until smooth. Add more water or vegetable broth if soup is too thick. 

This recipe also works well in a pressure cooker. Add all ingredients to the cooker. Set on high pressure for 10 minutes. Then proceed with other steps.
