Ingredients:
5 Strips: bacon,
1: Onion, chopped
1: Carrot, diced
3 Ribs: celery with leaves, chopped
3 tbsp: Fresh parsley, minced
1 tbsp: Fresh thyme, minced
1 small: Imported bay leaf,

Directions:
Blanch the bacon in boiling water for 1 minute, drain, pat dry on
paper towel, and coarsely chop. Place bacon in a large soup kettle,
set over medium heat and cook, stirring, until the bacon turns a
light golden color. Add the chopped onion and stir-cook for 1 minute.
Add the carrot and stir-cook for 30 seconds; add the celery and

rosemary, split peas, Worchestershire sauce, and broth. Bring to a
boil, skimming the top as necessary. Boil for 1 minute then cover and
simmer until the peas are tender, about 1 1/2 hours. (Can be
prepared in advance up to this point.) For serving, season with salt
and fresh pepper to taste. Ladle into warm bowls and top each serving
