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)
