Directions

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.
