Split Pea Soup

• 3 Tablespoons Minced Onion
• 1-1/2 Tablespoon Unsalted Butter
• 4 slices Bacon
• 2 cups Chicken Broth
• 1 pound Frozen Petite Peas
• 1/4 cups Heavy Cream
• Salt And Pepper
• 1/2 cups Buttered Croutons
• Creme Fraiche (Or Sour Cream Diluted With Cream)

1. In a medium saucepan (2 1/2 to 3-quart), melt the butter on medium heat. Add bacon and cook until crispy. Remove bacon and discard. Add onions to the same pan and cook until softened, but not browned, a couple minutes.
2. Add the broth to the onions, increase the heat and bring to a boil. Add the frozen peas and salt and pepper to taste. Return to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until the peas are just tender. I simmered mine for around 10 minutes.
3. Puree half of soup if you like it a little chunky, or puree in a blender until completely smooth. I made mine a little chunky. Blend in the cream and taste. Add seasonings if needed.
4. Reheat to serve warm, or chill to serve cold. Serve with creme fraiche and croutons. Enjoy!
