3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
8 slices Turkey Bacon, Diced
1 whole Large Onion, Diced
4 cloves Garlic, Minced
2 cups Dry Split Green Peas, Picked Over And Rinsed
8 cups Water
2 whole Vegetable, Chicken, Or Beef-flavored Soft Bouillon Cubes
2 whole Bay Leaves
1 teaspoon Ground Marjoram

1
Heat the oil over medium heat in a 5-quart lidded pot. Once hot, add the turkey bacon and saute until crispy, about 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove 3/4 of the turkey bacon to set aside for topping the soup. Add the onion to the same pot with the remaining 1/4 of turkey bacon. Saute until onion is softened, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and saute 1 minute more, stirring constantly.
2
Add the split peas, water, bouillon cubes, bay leaves, marjoram, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat. Turn heat down and cover the pot. Simmer until the peas form a smooth soup, about 45 to 60 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3
Add the carrots, celery, and potato. Cover the pot, turn heat up to high, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, turn heat down and simmer until the veggies are tender, about 20 to 30 minutes, stirring frequently.
4
Taste and season with additional salt and pepper as desired. Serve with the reserved turkey bacon sprinkled on top.

* If you prefer, instead of 8 cups of water and 2 bouillon cubes, you can use 8 cups of low-sodium stock and add salt to taste.
