Split Pea Sausage Soup

If you know me at all, you know this definitely is not something that I would pick out to eat. But since Oley went on his health eating kick we have extremely random ingredients lying around in our pantry and cupboards. Split peas and sausage being some of them. So here comes my big girl panties and the courage to try new things. . . . I'll let you know how it goes.

6 cups water
2 cans of chicken broth
1 pound smoked sausage of your choice, sliced

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
2 bay leaves
1 onion, chopped

Directions

In Crock Pot combine the peas, water, chicken broth, sausage, bouillon, carrot, celery, potatoes, garlic powder, oregano, bay leaves, and onions.
