Ingredients
  1. 12 slices bacon, cut into 1⁄2-inch pieces
  2. 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  3. 3 pounds shelled lady peas
  4. 6 cups chicken broth
  5. 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  6. 1⁄4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  7. Hot cooked rice
Instructions
  1. In a large Dutch oven, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp, about 10 minutes. Remove bacon using a slotted spoon, and let drain on paper towels, reserving 4 tablespoons drippings in pan.
  2. Add onion to pan; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 6 minutes. Add cooked bacon, peas, broth, salt, and pepper to pan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until peas are tender, about 30 minutes. Serve with rice, if desired.
