½ cup chopped onion

2 cans pea soup

1 can boiling water

Fry bacon until very crisp; remove from fat and saute onion until clear. Blend fat and onion into soup. Pour in pan and add boiling water slowly, stirring until smooth. Cook until it bubbles up 2 minutes. Add bacon crumbled into bits. Serve piping hot with TOWN HOUSE CRACKERS topped with Blue cheese and broiled 5 minutes at 350° F.

SOUP’S A MEAL when served with a tasty salad and tempting dessert. A tossed green salad with tomato wedges will complement PEAS PORRIDGE HOT. For the ideal dessert, try Graham Cracker Cake with Pine-Cot topping ([page 33]).
