You got me going, now. Went down to the market and checked out dried
split pea prices. Bulk, $1.19. Packaged, five 1lb pkgs for $3 (sale!). Duh!
I got the packages. Besides, the bulk s/p had turned off-white from
sitting around so long under fluorescent lights (ick!).

Mirepoix. Chicken stock. This should be interesting as I'm going to
use some roux I made from Old Bay fried chicken. I cooked up a mess
o' bacon I got cheap. Bacon bits garnish. Now I only need some good
sourdough bread and a cold front.
