Slowhand Shares His Favorite Recipe

There’s a chill in the air (unless you live in California, in which case you’re suffering through a heatwave), the leaves are changing colors and the air smells different, which can only mean one thing: fall is here. Along with the sweaters, scarves, boots and pumpkin spiced lattes that are making their way back into our lives for another season, our slow cookers and crock pots are back in action for the kind of home cooked deliciousness that makes those chilly nights not quite so bad – soups and stews are taking center stage, making room for one rock legend’s favorite recipe to make its way into the limelight once more.


That’s right, we’re talking about rock legend Eric Clapton and his famed split pea soup recipe!
