Introduction

This recipe has been adapted from one found on Gina's Weight Watcher's Recipes site. (http://www.skinnytaste.com/2008/03/split-

Ingredients

    1 bag of dried split peas
    1 chopped onion
    1 garlic clove or more if you like more garlic, use 2-3 cloves of garlic
    8 cups fat-free chicken stock
    2 tsp of olive oil
    4 carrots - chopped
    2 stalks celery, chopped
    Salt and Pepper, to taste
    1/3 pound bacon, cooked and drained

Directions

Wash peas and drain them. In a large stock pot, saute onions, celery and garlic in about 2 tsp of oil, making sure not to burn the garlic.

Add peas, carrots, bacon and your chicken stock, then cover the pot and let it come to a boil. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Once it boils, reduce heat and simmer for about two hours (peas should be very soft by then). You may need to add a little more chicken stock if it becomes too thick. Divide among six bowls.

Serve with toast (extra points)

    Very Good
    Be sure to stir it quite often and scrape the bottom. I find pea soup scorches easily. - 3/11/18
