Split Pea Soup
makes 4 bowls (or more)
adapted from here

Ingredients

• 2 to 3 slices of thick-cut, best-quality bacon, diced
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 3 medium garlic cloves, minced
• 3 medium carrots, peeled and diced
• 2 celery ribs, diced
• 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
• 1/4 cup white wine
• 4 cups chicken stock (homemade or low-sodium/store bought)
• 2 cups water
• 1 1/2 cups split peas

Preparation
1. In a large, heavy soup pot, cook the diced bacon over medium heat until it begins to brown (about 5 minutes).
2. Add the onions, garlic, carrots, celery and thyme to the bacon; stir and cook for several minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften (about 5 minutes).

3. Add wine, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan.
4. Add the stock, water and peas; bring to a boil.
5. Cover, reduce heat and cook the soup over medium-low heat for an hour to an hour-and-a-half, until most of the split peas have broken down and the soup reaches your desired consistency.
6. enjoy this...it was so good. (i even threw a dollop of greek yogurt into the soup...delish!)
