๐ฒโ๏ธ The Perfect Comfort Food for a Chilly Night!
If you're wondering what to do with that leftover Thanksgiving or Christmas ham, this recipe is one of our family's absolute favourites! โค๏ธ
๐ฅฃ Slow Cooker Split Pea & Ham Soup
This is a go-to in our house after every holiday, and there's nothing better than coming home to a warm, hearty bowl of homemade soup on a chilly Alberta evening!
If you're a busy family like ours, you'll love this one! ๐
Simply toss your ingredients into the slow cooker, add your veggies a few hours later, and let it do most of the work for you. No standing over the stove, no complicated prep, and very little cleanup!
๐ฅ Why we love it:
โ
Packed with fibre and nutrients
โ
Hearty, filling, and satisfying
โ
Budget-friendly and makes great use of leftovers
โ
Perfect for busy families and chilly evenings
โ
Delicious for lunch the next day, too!
๐ก Here's a little tip! If you've had your fill of holiday leftovers and can't possibly look at another piece of ham, freeze your ham bone and leftover ham for another day! When you're ready, pull them out and make this delicious soup. Just thaw the ham safely before adding it to your slow cooker.
It's an easy way to stretch your holiday meals, reduce food waste, and have a comforting family dinner without spending hours in the kitchen.
๐ก From my kitchen to yours! Because some of the best memories are made at home, gathered around the dinner table. โค๏ธ
