Hearty Split Pea Soup from the New York Times (originally from Freemans Restaurant on the Lower East Side)
1. Dice bacon into 1/4-inch-cubes. Place in a heavy 6-quart pot over medium-low heat. Cook into fat is rendered and translucent. Add onion, carrot, celery and garlic. Cook until onion and garlic are soft and translucent. Season with salt and pepper
2. Add split peas, stir to coat with fat, and add bay leaves and stock. Increase heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat so soup simmers. Skim foam that rises to the surface for 10 minutes, until no more appears . Add thyme leaves. Simmer uncovered about 1 hour or longer, until peas are soft and starting to fall apart.
3. Remove soup from heat. Add salt and pepper to taste. Puree soup in a food processor in several batches, short of perfect smoothness; you should be able to spoon up some texture. Reheat soup, skimming off any foam. Stir from the bottom to mix well, then ladle into bowls and serve.
