Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Combine peas, broth, onion, thyme, and bay leaf in a pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat.

  2. Step 2

    Simmer 10–12 minutes until peas soften and start to break down, stirring occasionally.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in shredded pork and cook 2 minutes until heated through.

  4. Step 4

    Remove thyme sprigs and bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. Step 5

    If you prefer a creamier texture, mash some peas against the side of the pot with a wooden spoon.

    Ladle into bowls and serve hot.
