Instructions

Step 1

In a food processor, finely chop the three carrots. Place the carrots and garlic in a soup pot.

Step 2

In a food processor finely chop the salt pork and then the Canadian bacon. Add to the carrots and garlic in the soup pot.

Step 3

Cook over a medium Heat, stirring so as not to burn and to allow the oil to be released from the salt Pork.

Step 4

When the carrots have softened raise the heat to medium-high. Add the chicken stock and black beans; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 1 hour.

Step 5

In a food processor puree the mostly thawed peas. They will be roughly chopped.

Step 6

Add the roughly chopped peas and the black pepper to the soup pot after the black beans have simmered for an hour.

Step 7

Raise the heat to medium-high. Stir the peas in thoroughly. Stir occasionally while bringing the soup back to a simmer.

Step 8

Once the soup returns to a simmer, lower the heat to medium, cover and cook for another 20 minutes.
