Ingredients

Servings
  • 5 lices Bacon diced, thick cut, or pancetta
  • 1/2 pound smoked kielbasa sausage , sliced into rounds
  • 1 large yellow onion , chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic , minced
  • 2 carrot peeled and sliced into rounds
  • 3 medium potato cubed, waxy yellow, e.g. Yukon gold
  • 8 cups chicken broth quality
  • 1 1/2 cups yellow split peas rinsed and drained (if using whole peas soak them overnight; split peas do not have to be soaked); can substitute green split peas but I prefer the aesthetics of the yellow in this soup, dried, or dried yellow whole peas
  • 2 bay leaf
  • 1 teaspoon salt sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon thyme dried
  • 1/2 teaspoon marjoram different flavor profile but can substitute oregano, dried

Instructions

  1. Cook the bacon. Add the sausage and fry until starting to brown at the edges. Reserve a few of the sausage slices until it's time to serve.Add the onions and cook until soft and beginning to caramelize, 6-8 minutes.  Add the garlic, carrots, and potatoes and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer covered for 25-60 minutes depending on the desired texture of the peas (cook them just until softened if you want the peas to maintain their shape and for a brothy soup; cook them longer if you prefer them broken down for a thicker, creamier consistency).  Discard the bay leaves.Ladle the soup into bowls and top with a few of the reserved sausage slices.
