- Separate 2 cups of the soup and put in clean WildSide+ jar and secure lid. Select “Sauces.”
- Pour back into soup and mix in to make it a bit thicker. Serve.
Omit the pancetta. I never liked ham in my split pea soup, anyway.
But if you must you might try a smoked or baked tofu (maybe add extra salt?).
There’s a recipe for marinating baked tofu to create a better pancetta substitute halfway down this page:

Remove pancetta and use vegetable broth :)
simply use vegetable broth and use the morningstar (or other brand) of bacon, cooked well done! That should do it…
Replace pancetta by using either some mushrooms or vegan "beef" broth. A little bit of Bragg’s also helps give it that meaty flavor. I’ve made vegan split pea soup, and at the very end, sprinkled bacon bits in it. They’re actually vegan!
Programmers need to fix the page so only the recipe prints with the picture and no other stuff on the page, including the code that printed over the top of the picture.
