We got this recipe along with our biweekly box from Farm Fresh to You. It's like a refined version of a split-pea and ham soup.

ingredients

• 1 t. olive oil
• 1 med. onion, finely chopped
• 3 slices of smoked bacon, chopped into 1/2 inch pieces
• 2 c. chicken stock
• 1 med. potato, finely chopped
• 50 g. pea shoots
  

instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, saute the onion over medium-high heat in the olive oil until soft (about 5 minutes).
2. Add the bacon and cook until it begins to brown (about 5 minutes).
3. Add chicken stock and potato, and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil for 10 minutes.
4. Remove from heat. Blend (either in a blender or in the pot with a hand blender) until smooth.
   
5. Add the pea shoots. Blend until smooth.
6. Heat in the saucepan and serve.
