Ingredients

  • 4 (14 1/2 ounce) cans low-fat chicken broth
  • 6 ounces dry pinto beans, picked through
  • 6 ounces dried split peas, picked through
  • 16 ounces kielbasa, split in half and sliced
  • 4 carrots, sliced
  • 3 stalks celery, sliced
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons thyme
  • 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes

Method

  • Place all the ingredients except the tomatoes in a crockpot.
  • Cook on low for 7 hours.
  • Add the diced tomatoes with juice and cook on high for 30 minutes.
  • Added note-as one reviewer found out, if you add the tomatoes to the crockpot at the begining of the recipe, your beans will remain hard and uncooked.
