Split Pea Soup in Crock Pot

We are trying to use up food we have stored in the freezer, so I made this soup for supper this evening. I have been looking for a good recipe for pea soup, and I think this one is great.

Split Pea Soup

16 ounces of dried, split peas, washed and sorted
1 meaty ham bone
2 carrots, peeled and sliced
1 medium onion, chopped
salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon "better than boullion" chicken boullion, or other chicken boullion paste or powder
5 cups boiling water
1 cup milk, heated

Place peas, ham bone, carrots, onion, salt and pepper in crock pot. Add boullion to boiling water. Cook on high, four to five hours. Add milk just before serving.

Our dinner was "You Pick Two" (or three), choice of Taco Soup, Split Pea Soup, Calzone, Grilled sandwich, Caesar Salad.
