A comforting and flavorful split pea soup made effortlessly in your slow cooker.
Prepare the vegetables by dicing the onion, celery, and carrots into small pieces.
Uniformly diced vegetables ensure even cooking and a consistent texture.
Add the diced vegetables, garlic, oregano, black pepper, split peas, and vegetable broth to the slow cooker.
Layer the ingredients evenly to ensure proper cooking.
Cover the slow cooker and set it to low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours.
Stir the soup occasionally if possible to prevent sticking.
Once cooked, use an immersion blender to puree the soup to your desired consistency.

Stir in the salt, parsley, and lemon juice before serving.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed for the perfect flavor.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
