Monday Meals - Split Pea and Sausage Soup

I already posted about split pea and sausage soup, but did not rate the recipe or figure out the overall price and price per meal. 

Ingredients:

1 pound dried split peas

10 cups water

1 pound smoked sausage of your choice, sliced

5 cubes chicken bouillon

1 bag of baby carrots

1 stalk of celery

1/2 bag frozen diced onions

4 potatoes

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
2 bay leaves

Directions:
In a 5 quart slow cooker, combine the peas, water, sausage, bouillon, carrot, celery, potatoes, garlic powder, oregano, bay leaves, and onion.

Cover, and cook on High for 4 to 5 hours. Remove bay leaves before ladling into bowls.
I'll let you know how it turned out next post.

The split pea and sausage soup came out great! I let it cook 4 hours on high and then 3 more hours on low. It was so good. The potatoes were so soft, the broth so yummy, the sausage perfect.
