  • Prep 10 min
  • Total 8 hr 10 min
  • Servings 6

Ingredients

  • 1 bag (1 pound) yellow split peas, sorted and rinsed
  • 1 can (11 ounces) whole kernel corn with red and green peppers, drained
  • 1 3/4 cups Progresso™ chicken broth (from 32-ounce carton)
  • 2 medium carrots, sliced (1 cup)
  • 1 medium stalk celery, diced (1/2 cup)
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 cup diced fully cooked ham
  • 1 cup frozen cubed southern-style hash brown potatoes, thawed
  • 1 teaspoon dried marjoram leaves
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper sauce

Steps

  • 1
    Mix all ingredients in 3 1/2- to 4-quart slow cooker.
  • 2
    Cover and cook on Low heat setting 6 to 8 hours.

  • Use sliced carrots purchased from the produce department or salad bar instead of slicing your own. The ham and celery can be cut ahead of time, packaged separately and refrigerated until you're ready to assemble the soup.
  • Crisp breadsticks or crackers complete this hearty soup. For a sweet ending, serve fresh fruit and a plate of holiday cookies.
  • For extra color and flavor, sprinkle each serving with crumbled crisply cooked bacon or chopped fresh parsley.
