• Saute the onion in olive oil, season with pepper. When the onions are soft and lightly browned, transfer to a 2 1/2 quart to 3 1/2 quart slow cooker. Rinse split peas and add to the cooker. Trim and peel the parsnips; cut into chunks (3/4 to 1 inch long). Add the parsnips, tomatoes with juice, stock (or broth) to the cooker. Add nutmeg, cinnamon and thyme. Stir to combine. Add ham (if using). Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours (the yellow split peas take longer than the green ones).

RAE'S SPLIT PEA SOUP

Steps:

• Take an 8 quart pot, and add the plain split peas, the split pea soup mixes (but not the seasoning packets), and the pearl barley.
• Add in 3 quarts of water; bring to a boil with the lid tilted, because it could boil over; once it boils, lower heat to keep at a simmer where the soup "just breaks a bubble.".
• Cook this on a slow flame, for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring often to prevent sticking. It will be thick.
• Now add the chicken bouillon granules, sugar, pureed reserved vegetables from a previous chicken soup, bay leaf, chicken broth, and the reserved packets from the Manischewitz mixes (mixed with a little water).
• Add salt and pepper.
• Continue to cook for another half hour; stirring often.
• You can add water to the soup if it gets too thick. Mine was perfect.
• Remove bay leaf and discard.
• Serve warm or if freezing, let the soup rest, off the burner, and once it cools to a room temperature, you can put it into quart containers to freeze.
