Use your slow cooker to create this tasty vegetarian soup. If you like a little kick, a few drops of hot sauce does the trick.

Tip: For easy cleanup, line your slow cooker with a disposable slow cooker liner. Add ingredients as directed in recipe. Once your dish is finished cooking, spoon the food out of your slow cooker and simply dispose of the liner. Do not lift or transport the disposable liner with food inside.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 Cup Dry Yellow Split Peas

  • 2 (14.1 ounce) cans reduced-sodium chicken broth

  • 1 cup water

  • 1 (12 ounce) package frozen corn kernels

  • 1/2 cup chopped bottled roasted red sweet peppers

  • 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chiles

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed

  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed

  • 1/2 cup tub-style cream cheese spread with chive and onion

Directions

  • Rinse split peas. In a 3 1/2- to 4-quart slow cooker, combine the split peas, chicken broth, water, corn, red peppers, chiles, cumin, oregano, and thyme. Cover and cook on high-heat setting for 5 to 6 hours. Cool 10 minutes.

Add the cream cheese spread to cooker; whisk or stir into soup until cream cheese is melted. If necessary, cover and cook about 5 minutes or until heated through.
