Slow Cooker Golden Split Pea Soup
Adding raisins, leeks and cumin to this slow-cooked split pea soup gives it a deliciously different, Persian-inspired flavor. You can use lamb instead of beef for a more traditional dish, but we preferred it with beef because it added richness while still allowing the flavors to meld together.
Ingredients
5 cups Swanson® Chicken Broth2 pounds beef for stew, cut into 1-inch pieces3 leek (white parts only), cut in half lengthwise and sliced1 large onion, chopped (about 1 cup)1.5 cups dried yellow split peas2 medium carrot, peeled and diced (about 1 cup)5 cloves garlic, minced3 bay leaf1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves, crushed2 teaspoons ground cumin0.5 cup golden raisins2 tablespoons lemon juice0.25 cup chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Stir the broth, beef, leeks, onion, split peas, carrots, garlic, bay leaves, oregano, cumin, raisins and lemon juice in a 6-quart slow cooker.Cover and cook on LOW for 7 to 8 hours or until the beef is fork-tender. Remove the bay leaves. Season to taste. Sprinkle with the parsley before serving.
