Pulled Pork Split Pea Soup

1. Pour olive oil into a 4-quart pot set over medium-low heat. Cook and stir yellow and red onions, garlic, salt, oregano, pepper, and bay leaf in the hot oil until onions are translucent, 10 to 15 minutes.

2. Stir pork, peas, chicken broth, and carrot into the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until split peas are soft, about 1 1/2 hours.

Cook's Notes:

You can use a slow-cooked pork tenderloin that's chopped into 1/2-inch pieces instead of pulled pork. If you have juice leftover from cooking the pork tenderloin, put that in as well for extra flavor.

You can use 2 small yellow onions instead of 1 large.
