Here’s what readers over at MyRecipes have said about this soup recipe:
I made this recipe exactly as written except used 4 cups unsalted chicken stock and 2 cups of water and used the bone from a holiday ham I had in my freezer. Delicious and so easy!! Yum! Will definitely be making this again!
Ingredients
1 pound dried green split peas, rinsed and drained
1 1/2 cups cubed peeled Yukon gold potatoes
5 garlic cloves, chopped
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped peeled carrot
1 large McCormick bay leaf
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 teaspoon Morton kosher salt
2 pounds smoked ham hocks
6 cups water
1/2 cup Daisy light sour cream
Directions
1. Layer peas and next 9 ingredients (through ham) in order listed in a 6-quart electric slow cooker. Gently pour 6 cups water over top. Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours.
2. Remove ham hocks from slow cooker. Remove meat from bones, and cut into bite-sized pieces; discard skin and bones. Discard bay leaf.
3. Coarsely mash soup to desired consistency, adding additional hot water to thin, if desired. Stir in chopped ham. Divide soup evenly among 8 bowls; top each serving with 1 tablespoon sour cream.

Quick Tip: Leftovers freeze well!
Thanks to MyRecipes for this hearty weeknight soup.
I’ve made this soup for 45 years! I just don’t put potatoes in (watching the diet). I’ve also found that there is less and less meat on the hocks, for some reason. I still make the soup with them (for the smokey flavor) and pick off the meat, but at the very end I cube a ham steak and add that. When I make it for myself (not the whole family), I don’t use any meat-just vegetarian style!
