Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • ¼ cup olive oil

  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped

  • ¾ cup chopped red onion

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon salt, or more to taste

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1 bay leaf

  • 3 pounds cooked pulled pork

  • 1 pound dry split peas

  • 6 cups chicken broth, or more to taste

  • 1 cup chopped carrot

Directions

  1. Pour olive oil into a 4-quart pot set over medium-low heat. Cook and stir yellow and red onions, garlic, salt, oregano, pepper, and bay leaf in the hot oil until onions are translucent, 10 to 15 minutes.

  2. Stir pork, split peas, chicken broth, and carrot into the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until split peas are soft, about 1 1/2 hours.

Cook’s Note

You can use a slow-cooked pork tenderloin that's chopped into 1/2-inch pieces instead of pulled pork. If you have juice from cooking the pork tenderloin, put that in the soup pot as well for extra flavor.

You can use 2 small yellow onions instead of 1 large.
