Ingredients

2 tablespoons oil

8 ounces chopped bacon

1 large onion, finely chopped

1 medium sized dried red chili (deseeded or not depending on heat desired), finely chopped

8 ounces green split peas, soaked overnight in water to cover

3 1/2 pints chicken stock

2 small sticks of celery with leaves, finely chopped

A bunch of cilantro

2-3 bay leaves

Directions

Heat the oil in a large saucepan.

Add the bacon, onion and chili.

Fry for 10 minutes over gentle heat until the onion is soft but not colored.

Drain the split peas.

Add them to the pot with the onions, bacon, stock, celery, and bay leaves.

Add salt and pepper to taste.

Bring to a boil and then lower the heat.

Simmer for at least 2 hours or until the peas are very tender.

If soup becomes too thick, add extra water or stock.

Remove the bay leaves before serving.

Serve the soup as is or puree in blender.
