Steps

30 mins

1

Get a bowl of ice water ready. Heat a pot of water, salted, to a boil. When boiling, add peas (if using fresh) and cook about 1 minute. Add snap peas and cook about 2 minutes until bright green. Then add sliced snow peas and cook another minute. Drain, and add to ice bath to cool.
2

Meanwhile, heat chicken broth. I used a half chicken bouillon cube with 1 cup water. (use whole cube and 1.5 cups water if doubling recipe)
3

Cook bacon in a pan until crispy, remove and place on paper towel.
4

Add flour to bacon drippings in pan and whisk until toasted, about one minute.
5

Whisk in chicken broth and milk and cook until reduced by one-third and thickened.
6

Drain the peas from the ice bath and add to the sauce and cook through about 3-5 minutes. If using frozen peas, add them now.
7

Transfer to serving plate and top with chopped bacon and ground black pepper.
