Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a 6-quart stockpot over medium/high heat. When hot, add chicken and cook until lightly golden, about 8-10 minutes.

MY BEST RECIPE FOR SPLIT PEA SOUP WITH CHICKEN
I have to say, I may never make recipe for split pea soup without chicken again. The shredded chicken adds something beautiful to this soup, a lightly sweet flavor that doesn't compete with the smoke usually provided by the ham hocks. (Though the bacon adds just a hint of smokiness, which is nice.) The texture is spot-on, and honestly, I think this soup recipe is one of the most comforting things I've eaten all year. Definitely a keeper.

Steps:
- In a large soup pot, add all chicken parts, carrot, parsnip, onion, celery, and water. Heat just to a boil and simmer gently, barely bubbling, for 1 hour. Occasionally skim the schmutz off the top.
- Once the broth is done, strain the stock through cheesecloth into a large pot and set aside. Separate chicken from vegetables and set chicken aside to cool. Discard veggies and wash pot so you can use it to make the soup. Once chicken has cooled, shred and reserve meat. Discard bones.
- In a large soup pot, fry bacon over medium heat until crispy. Using a slotted spoon, remove bacon from pan, leaving the fat in the pot. Place fried bacon in a bowl, cover, and place in the refrigerator until the soup is done.
- Add butter to bacon fat, stirring until melted. Add onion and cook just until the onion begin to brown, about 7 minutes. Add remaining vegetables and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add chicken stock, split peas, and shredded chicken, stirring well.
- Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low, simmering the soup uncovered for 2 to 3 hours, until the peas are soft and the soup is nice and thick. Occasionally scrape the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to prevent burning.
- Once the soup is done, stir in honey and salt.
- Serve hot, topped with a sprinkling of fried bacon and a spoonful of crème fraîche.

FRESH PEA SOUP
Steps:
- Heat the butter in a large saucepan, add the leeks and onion, and cook over medium-low heat for 5 to 10 minutes, until the onion is tender. Add the chicken stock, increase the heat to high, and bring to a boil. Add the peas and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until the peas are tender. (Frozen peas will take only 3 minutes.) Off the heat, add the mint, salt, and pepper.
- *Puree the soup in batches: place 1 cup of soup in a blender, place the lid on top, and puree on low speed. With the blender still running, open the venthole in the lid and slowly add more soup until the blender is three-quarters full. Pour the soup into a large bowl and repeat until all the soup is pureed. Whisk in the creme fraiche and chives and taste for seasoning. Serve hot with garlic croutons.

Steps:
- Season the chicken all over with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. In a large Dutch oven, melt the butter with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the chicken to a plate.
- Add the remaining oil to the Dutch oven and reduce the heat to medium. Add the carrots, celery, onion, and bell pepper. Cook until the onions begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, along with the rosemary, garlic, split peas, and broth. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and simmer until the peas are tender, about 20 minutes.
- Transfer about half of the soup to a food processor or blender, and pulse until smooth. Return the pureed soup to the pot, stir in the chicken (along with all of its juices from the plate), and cook for 5 more minutes to make sure the chicken is heated and cooked all the way through. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper.
- Divide the soup among bowls, garnish with chives, and serve hot.

FRESH PEA SOUP
This soup is known in France as Potage Saint-Germain, a name that comes from a suburb of Paris where peas used to be cultivated in market gardens. If fresh peas are not available, use frozen peas, but thaw and rinse them before use. Croutons make an excellent garnish!

BAREFOOT CONTESSA'S FRESH PEA SOUP
Earlier, I had posted Recipe #285307 after watching an episode of Ina Garten's show on the FoodNetwork. Now, I have finally tried the Fresh Pea Soup from that airing and found that I love it, as well. I prepared this with frozen peas, and while the original recipe did call for mint, I didn't have any on hand and omitted it. Pea soup may make some people's heads spin, but this is so good. Pairing with the flavorful Roasted Red Pepper Sandwich would be an incredible meal.

CHICKEN STOCK
Chicken stock has almost endless uses, from soup bases, of course, and gravies to a rich but low fat flavoring for veggies. The stock freezes will in those zipper type freezer bags. After trying homemade stock you will never want the store-bought kind again.

Steps:

POTAGE DAME EDMEE (FRESH GREEN PEA AND CHICKEN SOUP)
Steps:
- In a large saucepan put 4 cups of fresh peas, 6 tablespoons of butter, 1 finely minced onion, a tender head of garden lettuce cut into julienne strips, about 15 leaves of fresh spinach, 4 sprigs parsley, a few sprigs of chervil if you have it, 2 teaspoons of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 3/4 cups water. Cover the saucepan, bring the soup to a boil, and cook it over a moderate fire until the peas are tender. Meanwhile, boil 1 cup of fresh peas, in a separate pan, to add to the soup later.
- Pass the soup through a strainer, or a vegetable mill, pressing the vegetables through with the liquid. Return the soup to the saucepan, add 3 cups of chicken stock, stir well, and simmer over a low fire for about 15 minutes. Then add the extra cup of peas, drained, and 1/4 cup cooked white meat of chicken, cut into very fine julienne strips.
- Mix 3 egg yolks with 1 1/2 cups of light cream and add this gradually to the soup, stirring constantly. Continue cooking until the soup thickens to a creamy consistency, but do not let it boil.

SIMPLE SPLIT-PEA SOUP
The long cooking time and use of homemade chicken broth is what makes this split-pea soup so flavorful. This recipe is the result of much experimentation and years of trying to fix my mom's recipe for split pea soup! Sometimes, instead of simmering this on the stove I'll let it simmer in a Crockpot all day long. Putting some of this soup in a thermos makes the perfect lunch in between classes or at work; you don't even realize you're eating a lot of vegetables and the split peas make it high in fiber. A very nutritious choice!

Steps:
- 1. Saute onions with olive oil in a large stock pot until translucent on medium heat, which will take about 8 minutes.
- 2. Add celery, carrots and potato and saute 3-4 more minutes.
- 3. Pour in chicken broth and add split peas and ham. Uncovered, bring to a boil.
- 4. Once boiling, cover and turn heat down to low. Let the soup simmer for 3-4 hours. The soup is done when the split peas have broken apart and are evenly mixed throughout the soup.
- Notes: The longer you cook the soup, the better and more developed the flavor gets--sometimes I'll transfer it to a crock pot and let it simmer in there all day. If you like a smooth soup, blend finished soup with an immersion blender or in a food processor in small batches (large batches will make a mess!) If you like a thicker soup, add a small hand full of split peas to the 1-cup listed.

Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables to create a flavorful stock. Mirepoix (carrots, celery, and onions) is a classic combination, but you can also add other vegetables like parsnips, turnips, or leeks.
- Roast the vegetables before adding them to the stockpot. This will help to caramelize the vegetables and add a richer flavor to the stock.
- Use a good quality chicken. A free-range or organic chicken will have more flavor than a conventionally raised chicken.
- Simmer the stock for at least 2 hours, or up to 4 hours for a more flavorful stock.
- Strain the stock through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any solids.
- Use the stock immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
Conclusion:
Chicken stock is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes, from soups and stews to sauces and gravies. By making your own chicken stock, you can control the quality of the ingredients and the flavor of the stock. With a little time and effort, you can make a delicious and flavorful chicken stock that will elevate your cooking.
