Add the diced celery, onion, carrots,\u00a0potatoes<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>and garlic. Cook gently, stirring occasionally, until the onions become translucent and fragrant, about 5-8 minutes. Be careful not to let them brown.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stir in the rinsed split peas and diced smoked pork. Pour in the hot chicken stock and water, stirring well to combine all ingredients. Add salt and pepper to taste.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to maintain a steady simmer. Cook\u00a0covered\u00a0gently for about 1 hour and\u00a030 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. The soup is ready when the split peas have broken down and the soup has thickened to a creamy consistency. If the soup is too thick for your liking, add a bit more water.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Taste for seasoning. Add salt and black pepper as needed and about\u00a02 tablespoons\u00a0of Worcestershire sauce. Serve hot with\u00a0your preference\u00a0of fresh, buttered bread.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Storage &amp; Leftovers:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 This soup keeps in the refrigerator for up
