"This is from the Canadian Living Slow Cooker Recipe Cookbook. It states that this soup is still the test kitchen’s favourite pea soup. I did make a slight change to the original recipe by adding the liquid smoke. If reheating this soup, you might have to add a bit of water as it thickens quite a bit after being refrigerated."

Crock pot cooking makes life so easy, and it was ready when I got home from work. I used a couple of ham hocks to have lots of meat. I gave my neighbor a bowl and she called to say she loved it. I had mine with a big piece of cornbread for a very satisfying meal!

Excellent pea soup. I can see why it's the CL test kitchen's favourite. I made a couple of changes. I didn't bother soaking the peas and therefore added more liquid to the soup and instead of using water I used chicken broth. The grocery store didn't have any ham bones so I used a piece of slab bacon in its place. Thank you for sharing.
