Pea & Ham Soup - slow cooker

My first attempt at pea and ham soup... hopefully I've picked up my Nannas talent here! I'll let you know in 6 hours....


500g bag split yellow peas
2 cloves of garlic
2 medium brown onions
3 baby carrots 
2 medium potatoes
150g diced bacon 
1 ham bone (1kg)
pepper corns
parsley
water to cover


Rinse split peas and layer across the bottom of the slow cooker.
Dice garlic, onions and carrot finely - I wizzed them in a food processor to make really fine. Dice the potato into small cubes - place all in slow cooker and place in ham hock. 
Add pepper corns to taste, a sprinkle of parsley and cover with water. 
Cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6-8 hours. 
Remove ham from bone and place back into soup with bacon.
