Rinse peas. In a 4-quart saucepan, combine peas,
water and salt. Bring to a boil; remove from heat and
let soak for 1 hour. In a 10-inch nonstick skillet
heat oil over medium-high heat; add bacon and cook,
stirring frequently, until browned. Stir in onions
and carrots and cook, stirring occasionally, until
onions are translucent; add to peas in saucepan and
stir to combine. Add remaining ingredients except
parsley and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low,
cover, and let simmer, stirring occasionally to
prevent mixture from sticking to bottom of pan, until
peas are softened and mixture thickens, about 45
minutes. If soup becomes too thick, add up to an
additional cup of water. Serve each portion sprinkled
with fresh parsley.

Makes 4 servings.
