English Pub Split Pea Soup

This family favorite is the same recipe my grandmother used. Now with the magic of the slow cooker, I can spend 15 minutes putting it together, walk away for five hours, and come back to "soup's on." Finish it with more milk if you like your soup a bit thinner. —Judy Batson, Tampa, Florida

Potato Leek Soup

If you want a creamy potato leek soup recipe rather than a chunky one, when the soup is finished cooking, remove it from the heat briefly so that it’s no longer simmering. Pour a portion of the soup into a blender (a safe rule of thumb is never to fill a blender more than half-full with hot liquid). Blend that soup portion until smooth and creamy, pour it into a medium saucepan, then puree the remaining soup.
