1. Slice onions into bite sized chunkish pieces.
2. Cut bacon (it's easier with scissors) into 2 inch strips.
3. Fry bacon and onions in a pot (not a pan silly).
4.When the bacon looks sufficiently cooked, add chicken broth and spices. Bring to a boil.

6. Chop the carrots and celery and add.
7. Cook until the peas are tender. Taste them. It takes about an hour.
