Split pea soup with bacon

INGREDIENTS
2 cups dried split peas
4 cups chicken broth
1 tbsp ghee or olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup onions, chopped
1 cup carrots, chopped
4 slices bacon, cooked and broken into pieces
1 bay leaf
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp dried oregano
salt and pepper to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
Sauté the onions and garlic until the onions are translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the carrots, peas, and stock. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 45 minutes. Skim off any foam. Add the rest of the ingredients and cook for another 45 minutes or until peas are soft. Add more broth or water as necessary to achieve desired consistency.
NOTES
Stir frequently to keep the solids from sticking to the bottom.
Add-ins: More bacon! Top with parmesan cheese.
MORE NOTES
Although Yoda prefers a traditional rootleaf stew, we can’t seem to find any of his planet’s swamp flora in Ohio, so he has to make do with peas. He also likes to chew on the bay leaf, so be sure to save it for him.
