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.
