Split-pea Soup

5 cups chicken broth
1 pound fresh dried green split peas, rinsed and drained
1 large or 2 small leeks, rinsed and diced small - light parts only
1/2 medium onion, diced small
2 small carrots, diced small
1/4 red bell pepper diced small
1/2 celery stalk, diced small
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
2 cups water
sea salt
ground black pepper

Bring broth to boil on stove top, then pour into slow-cooker. Add all ingredients, cover and cook on high for 6 hours. Stir occasionally. Add more water and/or broth as needed since this mixture may thicken.
