Best Split Pea Soup With Pork Belly Recipes

SPLIT PEA SOUP RECIPE

Steps:

• Pork: Preheat the oven to 300°.
• Add the onions, garlic, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf to a medium size sauce pot.
• Next, each pork tenderloin in half and season well on all sides with salt and pepper, and add it to the pot with the vegetables and herbs.
• Add in oil and make sure the pork is submerged.
• Cook in the oven for 4 hours.
• Remove from the oven and add each pork tenderloin to a large frying pan over medium-high heat until golden brown on each side, about 2-3 minutes per side.
• Shred the pork using 2 forks. Note: Strain the confit fat and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 1 month for other confit recipes.
• Soup: With about 2 hours left in the cooking process of the pork confit, add the butter to a large pot over medium heat along with the onions, carrots, celery, and garlic, and sweat for about 10 minutes or until the vegetables are slightly rendered.
• Add in the peas, split peas, and chicken stock and simmer over low heat for about 90 minutes or until the peas have broken down and the soup is thick.
• With about 20 minutes left in the cooking process, add the potatoes to the soup and cook until tender.
• Finish by seasoning with salt and pepper and add the shredded pork. Note: I only used half of the amount of shredded pork confit but you can absolutely use it all. It is delicious to eat by itself or serve as its own meal.
• Pour some into a bowl and add on optional crème Fraiche garnish and serve.
