  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 2 carrots (medium, diced)
  • 2 stalks of celery (diced)
  • 1 tbsp dried thyme
  • 2 cups yellow split peas (dry/uncooked)
  • 8 cups of Organic vegetable broth

Directions:
  1. In a slow cooker, add the onion, garlic, carrots, celery, thyme, and dried split peas.
  2. Pour the broth over all ingredients and cook on low for 8 hours. Stir every few hours to prevent the split peas form sticking to the pot.
