Now that winter has gone, and we’ve emerged from hibernation and put our down jackets and wool sweaters away, it’s also time that we set aside the winter comfort foods. Instead of filling our tables with sweet potatoes and winter squashes, let’s lighten things up and welcome spring and all its amazing produce.
I’m a firm believer in eating as seasonally as possible, which is partly why I love spring so much. With all that variety, I’m going to show you how to use the abundance of fresh produce in this gluten free slow cooker split pea soup recipe. A vegetarian version of a classic recipe, this simple soup is also made in the slow cooker so it takes minimal hands-on time. Thick, creamy, and perfect for the transition from winter to spring!
