Yellow Split Pea and Bacon Soup

I love this Yellow Split Pea and Bacon Soup. It is so wholesome and hearty, and it is jam-packed with both flavor and healthy ingredients like carrots, celery, and split yellow peas. You will love this old-school soup if you try it.

Start by frying bacon until golden brown. Add some olive oil to the pan and add onions and garlic. Sauté until the onions are translucent. Add carrots, celery, split peas, chicken stock, smoked paprika, and bay leaf. Bring the soup to a boil and simmer uncovered for 1 – 2 hours until the peas start to break down. Stir regularly to stop the soup from burning on the bottom.
Taste and season with salt and pepper. Serve hot.

To make Yellow Split Pea and Bacon Soup, you will need the following ingredients:

Steps to make Yellow Split Pea and Bacon Soup

1	Fry bacon	5
Place 8 ounces of chopped bacon in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Dry fry the bacon until golden brown (it should cook in its own fat, but you can add a bit of oil if it starts to stick to the bottom of the pot).
2	Saute onion and garlic	5
If necessary, add 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add 1 large chopped onion to the pan with 2 minced cloves of garlic. Sauté for 5-10 minutes until the onions are translucent.
3	Add remaining ingredients	1
Add 3 diced carrots and 3 diced celery stalks to the pot with 1 pound of dried split yellow peas, 8 cups of chicken stock, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, and 1 bay leaf and stir well.
4	Boil and simmer	1h
Bring the soup to a boil. Once boiling, simmer uncovered for 1 - 2 hours, until the split peas are tender and starting to break down. Stir frequently as the soup cooks to ensure it doesn’t stick to the bottom and burn.
5	Season	1
Taste and season with salt and pepper.
6	Serve
Serve immediately while hot.
