Details

Preparation

Step 1

Cook bacon over medium-low heat in a skillet until the bacon is nice and crispy (6-10 minutes). Remove the bacon. Pour off most of the bacon fat, leaving about 2 tablespoons in the pan. Saute the onions in the bacon fat until the onions are soft and slightly browned (about 15 minutes). Add peas and 1 cup of broth and cook at medium heat until the peas are soft (about 5 minutes). Blend with a hand blender, and salt to taste.
Bacon is optional, but it really adds a nice crunch and smokiness to the dish. Crumble the bacon and sprinkle on top of the soup. This can also be enjoyed chilled.
