Directions
Dice bacon into ¼-inch cubes. Place in Hestan NanoBond 5qt Dutch Oven over medium-low heat. Cook until fat is rendered. 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 to simmer. Skim foam that rises to the surface for about 10-minutes. Add thyme leaves. Simmer uncovered about 1-hour, until peas are soft and starting to fall apart.
Remove soup from heat. Purée soup with hand blender until desired smoothness is achieved. Reheat soup and ladle into bowls, serve, and enjoy!
