Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb leek

2 cups celery, chopped
1 large onion, chopped

Steps:

  • Cut off and discard tough green tops, outer leaves, and root ends from the leeks.

  • Transfer bacon with slotted spoon to paper towels, set aside.
  • Discard all but 2 Tablespoons fat from pan.
  • Add leeks, celery, onion, and chopped parsley to the pan.

  • Return bacon to pan with split peas, broth and 1 quart water.
  • Bring to a boil over high heat.
