minced 2 leeks
thinly sliced 1 large carrot
coarsely chopped 3 cloves garlic minced 1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary 1 bay leaf 1 tsp smoked paprika 5 cups vegetable stock or faux chicken stock 1 1/2 cups green split peas
rinsed freshly ground black pepper 2 tsp canola oil 4 slices tempeh bacon 1/4 cup vegan mayonnaise 1/2 cup ground cashews 1/2 canned chipotle in adobe sauce juice of 1 lime

Cool, then coarsely crumble. Serve the soup garnished with the Chipotle Cream chipotle, made by placing all of the ingredients in a food processor and blending until well mixed, and tempeh bacon.

CREAMY SPLIT PEA SOUP

This is a wonderful soup for a cold winter's night. My kids love it and ask for it all the time! Its great with fresh out-of-the-oven wheat bread. I often serve it with a dollop of cottage cheese (cools it down for the kids and adds protien). Enjoy!

SLOW COOKER SPLIT PEA SOUP WITH BACON AND HASH BROWNS



Slow Cooker Split Pea Soup with Bacon and Hash Browns image

I use bacon instead of ham and frozen hash brown potatoes in this pea soup. It's a good winter comfort food and smells wonderful while cooking. It freezes well, so when my husband and I are busy all day, its a quick dinner for us. I add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to spice it up a bit. You can also cook whole bacon strips in the microwave until lightly browned. Transfer to paper towels and let cool; crush or tear into small pieces.

HEARTY SPLIT PEA SOUP WITH BACON



Hearty Split Pea Soup With Bacon image

This is a thick, mellow split pea soup with a whisper of meaty smoke and the brambly fragrance of thyme. The recipe is easy and copious, and the soup freezes well. Look for split peas that have a use-by date on the package and are relatively fresh; they will cook faster and better.

Categories     dinner, soups and stews, appetizer

Time 2h

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound slab bacon in 1/4-inch-thick slices
1 large onion, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 head garlic, cloves peeled and sliced thin
Salt and black pepper
1 pound dried green split peas, rinsed and picked over
4 bay leaves
2 to 3 quarts chicken stock
1/2 bunch fresh thyme leaves, stripped from stems

Steps:

  • Dice bacon into 1/4-inch cubes. Place in a heavy 6-quart pot over medium-low heat. Cook until fat is rendered and translucent. Add onion, carrot, celery and garlic. Cook until onion and garlic are soft and translucent. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add split peas, stir to coat with fat, and add bay leaves and 2 quarts stock. Increase heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat so soup simmers. Skim foam that rises to the surface for about 10 minutes, until no more appears. Add thyme leaves. Simmer uncovered about 1 hour or longer, until peas are soft and starting to fall apart. Add more stock, as needed.
  • Remove soup from heat. Add salt and pepper to taste. Purée soup in a food processor in several batches, short of perfect smoothness; you should be able to spoon up some texture. Reheat soup, skimming off any foam. Stir from the bottom to mix well, then ladle into bowls and serve.

SPLIT PEA SOUP WITH BACON & CRAB



Split Pea Soup with Bacon & Crab image

Many split pea soups use ham and bacon for good, smoky flavor. Taking it one amazing step farther-add crabmeat. Freeze this one without toppings (freeze the cooked bacon separately), then reheat soup in a saucepan. Feel free to add more chicken stock or broth when reheating if you need it. Sprinkle bacon and fresh crab on top of bowls of hot soup. -Stephen Exel, Des Moines, Illinois

SPLIT PEA SOUP WITH BACON AND CRISPY WHITE CHEDDAR GRILLED CHEESE



Split Pea Soup with Bacon and Crispy White Cheddar Grilled Cheese image

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 pound dried split peas, soaked overnight
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
10 ounces bacon strips, diced
1 yellow onion, roughly chopped
6 cloves garlic
3 tablespoons fresh marjoram leaves
10 cups chicken stock
4 cups whole milk
4 ounces baby spinach
2 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 lemons, juiced
Sour cream, for garnish
Marjoram leaves, for garnish
3 cloves garlic
1/2 stick unsalted butter
8 slices sourdough bread
1/4 cup mayonnaise
8 slices sharp white Cheddar cheese
Pinch of kosher salt

Steps:

  • Make the soup: If you have not yet, soak your split peas in water for 2 hours or overnight. This will improve the cook time of your soup. If the peas are not soaked, you will just need to cook them longer, about 30 to 40 extra minutes.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced bacon and cook until crispy and brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon and rest it on a paper towel-lined plate. Pour off all but 1/4 cup of the drippings from the pot.
  • Place the pot back over medium heat and add the onions, garlic and marjoram leaves. Cook until they turn translucent, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the split peas, stock and milk and simmer until the peas start to fall apart, about 20 minutes.
  • Once cooked, transfer half of the peas and cooking liquid to a blender with half of the spinach. Puree until smooth, adding more liquid if needed to thin out the soup. Repeat this step for the remaining half of the peas and cooking liquid.
  • Combine all of the soup together and season with salt and lemon juice. Serve garnished with the bacon bits, sour cream and some fresh marjoram.
  • Make the grilled cheese: Using the flat side of a knife or the back of a spoon or fork, crush the cloves of garlic and place into a small microwave-safe bowl. Add the butter and microwave on high for about 30 seconds or until the butter is boiling hot and fully melted.
  • Brush the garlic butter over the back of the top and bottom pieces of bread for each sandwich. Flip the bread over and spread mayonnaise on each side and place 2 pieces of sharp white cheddar cheese in the middle of half of the pieces of bread.
  • In a saute pan or skillet over medium heat, toast the sandwich butter side down until an even brown color is achieved, about 1 1/2 minutes. Flip the sandwich and repeat on the other side.
  • Sprinkle with a pinch of salt, cut in half and serve hot with soup.
