Slow Cooker Split Pea Soup with Ham Hock

Maybe I don't know how to cook chickpeas properly but my chickpeas didn't come out mushy and look like the photo. It tastes great though. You can really taste the ham infused into the chickpeas

Ok

I could only find raw ham hock so I cooked it in a cast iron pan the day before. Then, I put it in the soup as in the recipe. The soup was fantastic and had tons of flavor, but was very thick and I used leftovers as a pasta sauce instead of soup.

I've never had split pea soup so i don't know what I was expecting, I thought there would be some pea texture left but it is almost like a blended soup. Tastes great! But I'm not sure if I cooked it too long or something. Also only added 5 cups of broth. Worked out well. Will make again.

made this thinking only my husband and I would eat it but surprisingly the grandchildren LOVED it too. it was very easy to make as well. we will definitely be making this again.
