The other day Kimberly put on twitter that she was making split pea soup in the crockpot, which got me thinking about pea soup, too.  I immediately asked her what recipe she was using, but then got antsy and just googled a few of my own.  I ended up throwing together some ingredients and it came out perfect.  Flavorful, thick, and super easy to prepare.  

Split Pea Quinoa Crockpot Soup

• 2c. dried split peas
• 1/2c. quinoa
• 1 onion, diced
• 2T. minced garlic
• 1t. salt
• 1t. cumin
• 1T. italian seasonings
• 2T. olive oil
• dash cayenne
• 8c. water

Combine all ingredients together in crockpot and cook on high for 6-8 hours, or until peas are all soft.
