Step 1
Heat a large pot over medium-high. Add diced pork, cooking until edges brown and fat renders, about 4 minutes.
Step 2
Add onion, celery, and carrot. Stir and cook until vegetables soften and edges begin to caramelize, 3 minutes.
Step 3
Pour in broth and frozen peas. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally.
Step 4
Reduce heat to medium and simmer 10 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until peas break down into a thick purée.
Step 5
Taste and season with salt and black pepper. If soup is too thick, stir in a splash of hot water.
Step 6
Serve hot in deep bowls. The pork bits should be crispy and float on top.
