Cozy Slow Cooker Split Pea & Kale Stew

Makes 6 servings
8 Hours

Ingredients

1 Yellow Onion (medium, diced)

2 Garlic (cloves, minced)

2 Carrot (medium, diced)

2 stalks Celery (diced)

1 tbsp Dried Thyme

2 cups Yellow Split Peas (dry/uncooked)

8 cups Vegetable Broth

4 cups Kale Leaves (chopped)

Sea Salt & Black Pepper (to taste)

 

Directions

1. In your slow cooker, add the onion, garlic, carrots, celery, thyme and dried split peas. Pour the broth over all ingredients and cook on low for 8 hours. Stir every few hours to prevent the split peas from sticking to the bottom.
2. In the last 30 minutes of cooking, add chopped kale. Once the kale is wilted, season to taste with salt and pepper. Enjoy!

 

 

Notes

Leftovers: Store in the fridge up to 4 days or freeze.

More Flavour: One serving size is roughly 1 1/2 to 2 cups.

On its own, this stew is super filling – but add a half of a sandwich or side salad, and you have a full meal. You can even sub our the kale for spinach as the seasons change.

Be well,

Lisa
