GREEN SPLIT PEA AND BACON SOUP
From Super Food Ideas July 2008. Though I have listed chicken stock as per recipe I used a homemade ham stock. This bought back memories of New Years Eve parties that my parents used to have and there was always pots of mushy peas served. UPDATE- after making this several times now I have found the cooking time will vary between 25 to 45 minutes - I can only put it down to the split peas and that they may vary from packet to packet.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a saucepan over medium high heat and add onion and garlic and cook stirring for about 3 minutes till onion is soft.
- Add peas and stir to coat.
- Add stock and cold water and bring to the boil.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer partially covered for 25 to 45 minutes or until peas are tender (see note above).
- Remove from heat and process half the soup in a blender or use a stick blender till smooth or do what I did and put the stick blender straight into the pot and process to your liking.
- Return to pot or if you just used the stick blender, stir in lemon juice and cook for 3 minutes or until heated through.
- While soup was cooking in the first 25 minutes, heat a frying pan over medium high heat and add bacon and cook till crisp or use recipe #208501 .
- Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel and drain.
- Crumble into pieces.
- Ladle soup into bowls and top with crumbled bacon and paprika and serve with a roll.
