Easy Crock Pot™ Split Pea Soup Recipe With Spanish Chorizo by 30Seconds Food
When someone says split pea soup, most of us think of thick, creamy, green split pea soup with ham. Not this time. This split pea soup recipe is made in a slow cooker and is finished with Spanish chorizo link sausage. The spicy chorizo adds a kick to the soup and is less salty than ham.
If you can't find fresh chorizo sausage links, you could use Italian sausage, kielbasa or your favorite sausage instead. Serve this hearty split pea soup with crusty bread and a salad.
