Step 1

Add the split peas, onion, celery, carrot, garlic, bay leaves, smoked paprika, salt, broth, water and the ham or ham bone (if using) to a 6-quart slow cooker, stirring to combine.

Step 2

Cover and cook on high for 5-6 hours or low for 7-8. Do not remove the lid during the cooking time.

Step 3

Uncover, add the red wine vinegar, and stir to combine. Remove the ham bone (if using) and discard. Taste and add additional salt or vinegar if desired. Note: this soup may be on the thin side at first. In testing, I turned my slow cooker completely off at the end of the cook time, leaving it covered to sit for an hour. During that time it cooled slightly and was significantly thicker, making it the ideal thickness. For this reason I recommend allowing an additional hour for cooling if you prefer a thick split pea soup.
