split pea soup

this is my favorite thing to do with leftover Easter (or Christmas) ham. since i wasn't in charge of the ham for this Easter, i just grabbed some pork hocks to use instead this time. it's from the better homes and gardens cook book.

ingredients

2 C chicken broth
1 C split peas
1 - 1 1/2 lbs meaty pork hocks or ham bone
1/4 tsp marjoram
1 bay leaf
1 medium carrot
1 stalk celery
1 medium onion
1 small potato (i added this)

directions

put everything but broth in the crock pot. then pour chicken broth, plus 2 additional C water over the ingredients. 10-12 hours on low. 5-6 hours on high.
