Ingredients
  

2 cups green split peas, rinsed and drained

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 medium carrots, diced

2 celery stalks, diced

1 medium potato, peeled and diced

1 small butternut squash, peeled and diced

6 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth)

1 bay leaf

1 tsp dried thyme

1 tsp smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (for brightness, optional)

Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

Sauté the Base: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent (about 5 minutes).

    Combine Ingredients: In your crockpot, combine the sautéed onion and garlic with the split peas, carrots, celery, potato, and butternut squash. Stir well to mix evenly.

      Flavor It Up: Pour in the vegetable broth, and add the bay leaf, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine all the ingredients.

        Set the Slow Cooker: Cover and set your crockpot on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours until the peas are tender and the soup is thickened.

          Final Touches: Once cooked, remove the bay leaf. If desired, you can use an immersion blender to puree the soup for a creamier texture. Stir in the apple cider vinegar for added brightness.

            Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm with crusty bread or croutons on the side.
