Introduction

Get all the smoky flavor with far less salt by swapping the ham hock for Canadian bacon in this favorite winter soup.

Ingredients

Sachet ingredients:
1 square cheesecloth, about 6"" wide
1 length kitchen twine, about 6""-8""
1 clove garlic
3 parsley stems
4 black peppercorns
1 bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

1 cup split peas, rinsed and picked over
1 large onion, diced (about 1 cup)
1 large celery rib, diced (about 1/2 cup)
2 large carrots, shredded (about 1 cup) or 1 cup pre-shredded carrots
4 ounces Canadian bacon, chopped

4 ounces (1 cup) uncooked whole wheat elbow noodles
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar

Directions

Place the sachet ingredients in the square of cheesecloth and tie it closed with the twine.

Add it to the slow cooker along with the split peas, onions, celery, carrots, and Canadian bacon. Pour in six cups of water, then cover and set on low heat. Cook for six to eight hours. Half an hour before serving, remove the lid and stir in the pasta. Replace the lid and allow the pasta to cook until al dente, about 30 minutes.

Just before eating stir in the vinegar and season with the pepper. Serve immediately.
