Split Pea Soup

Ingredients
-2 onions-2 cups of split peas-8 cups of water (or follow the directions on the bag of peas for how much to add-you can always add more water if it is too thick later as well) -2 chicken stock cubes or (2 tablespoons stock paste) -1 tablespoon Basil -Black pepper to taste -Bay leaf or two
If using bacon, cut into small strips and fry in the bottom of a large saucepan until cooked, about 7 minutes on medium high heat. Removed bacon from the fat with a slotted spoon and keep aside.
Add in the chopped onion into the bacon fat, or (olive oil/ butter if you prefer) stirring until translucent-then the remaining ingredients. Cooking 30-40 minutes (with the lid on) until the peas start to fall apart and thicken the soup. You can puree part or all of the soup in the blender if you prefer, but I like it as is. Top with some bacon bits and serve hot with crusty french bread.
