Irresistible Split Pea Soup

I made some good soup tonight:

1 lb. dried split peas,
1 kettle boiling water,
1 cube chicken bouillon,
1 bay leaf,
couple dashes worcestershire sauce,
few shakes of adobo seasoning,
1 sliced red onion,
2 cloves garlic,
4 sliced carrots,
sliced celery with leaves,
four slices of bacon

Sometimes when I make split pea soup no one wants to eat it. This time it was delicious! The only trouble was, after several bowls of it (one wasn't nearly enough) I was overcome with lethargy and sat down to watch a depressing episode of Intervention (flipping among channels to brighten things a bit). I had been planning to go to a spinning class at the gym but I am useless and exhausted now. Caution: Eating vegetable soup causes vegging out!
