Split Pea Soup

1lb dry green split peas, rinsed and picked

1/4 tsp dry oregano

1/2 tsp dry thyme

1 medium onion, diced

3 celery stalks, sliced

2 veg. broth cubes (or equivalant)

6 cups water

3-4 dashes liquid smoke

Simply combine all of the above ingredients in your crockpot. Give it a good stir and cover. Cook on high for 5-6 hours or low for about 7-8. After you turn off the crock, let it sit for a good 1-2 hours with the lid still on. When you remove the lid, the soup should look liquidy. Give it a good stir and it will thicken and look gorgeous.
