Ingredients

  • 1/2 ounce butter
  • 2 ounces streaky bacon, chopped (some fried pieces for garnish)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 medium carrot, chopped
  • 1 stalk celery, chopped
  • 1 lb dried split peas
  • 4 pints chicken stock
  • 4 tablespoons plain yogurt

Method

  • Melt butter and add bacon, onion, carrot and celery. Cook for 5-10 minutes until the vegetables have begun to soften.
  • Add the peas and the stock. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer 1 hour, until the peas are cooked. Place in a blender to liquify (use caution with hot soup). Return to the pot and add the yogurt; gently reheat without boiling.
  • Serve garnished with crispy, crumbled bacon and croutons if you like.
