Crock Pot Split Pea

I tried this yesterday, and it went really well!  I don't have exact measurements, so you may need to experiment around with it a bit.

Chicken: $1
Peas: $2
Great Northern Beans: $1
Ramen Noodles Package: $0.25
(Optional)
Plain Yogurt: $0.50
Cheese:   $0.50
Spices:  $0.25

This can feed 2 people with leftovers.  The great northern beans are especially filling. The cost to feed us for dinner: $4.50 - $5.50


1 Piece of Chicken, cut up
1 Cup Peas
3/4 Cup Dry Great Northern Beans
1 Package Ramen Noodles
4 Cups Water
(Optional)
Spices, as desired for taste
1/4-1/2 Cup Plain Yogurt (add as desired for taste)
2-4 Tablespoons Shredded Cheese (also for taste)

Put Chicken, Peas, Northern Beans, Noodles (I just threw away the seasoning pack), and Water into a Crock Pot and let cook on High for 4 hours.  Add spices, stir, and then place in bowls.  Sprinkle shredded cheese over soup.  Add Plain Yogurt (or sour cream) for taste.

Pretty quick prep time for this recipe, as the crock pot will take care of the cooking.  Of course, with any crock pot recipe, you'd want to start it well in advance. However, it is great to be able to have a nice meal cooked without much other effort than throwing it in something and ignoring it till it's done. :)
