My Best Recipe For Split Pea Soup With Chicken Food

MY BEST RECIPE FOR SPLIT PEA SOUP WITH CHICKEN

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.

CHICKEN SPLIT PEA SOUP

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.

SIMPLE SPLIT-PEA SOUP

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.
