2-3 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks or diced

4 cups vegetable stock
2-4 cups of water

Instructions
Brown bacon in a pan then place in slow cooker.
Add olive oil, potatoes, carrots, onion, spring onion, garlic, potatoes (both normal and sweet), spices and split peas to the slow cooker.
Top with liquid vegetable stock and then add 2-4 cups of water depending on the size of your slow cooker. (I needed 2.5 cups).
Add one tablespoon of tomato paste and stir through.
Cook on high for 3 hours until soup starts to thicken up, then place slow cooker on low for another 1-2 depending desired consistency. Stir frequently to mix the peas.
Lots of flavour, lovely served with Garlic bread and Parmesan Cheese.
