SPLIT PEA SOUP

Steps:

• To prepare the soup: Pour the peas into a stockpot and carefully check them for any foreign objects. (I know it sounds weird, but occasionally small stones will slip through during processing.)
• Peel the carrots and onion and dice them into about 1/2-inch pieces. Place the carrots, onion, bay leaves, and water into the stockpot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Decrease the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the peas have broken down. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Cut the bread into 1/2-inch cubes and place them on a baking sheet. Combine the butter and garlic powder in a small bowl and pour over the bread cubes. Toss the bread cubes until they are evenly coated and bake them for 10 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
• Ladle the soup into bowls and top with the croutons.
• It's time to pull out that math you learned in third grade:
• 2 cups = 1 pint
• 2 pints = 1 quart
• 4 quarts = 1 gallon
• If you remember this, then you won't panic when a recipe calls for 2 quarts of water and you only have a 1-cup measure. You will know:
• 2 quarts = 4 pints = 8 cups
