Rinse peas thoroughly under cool water (Discarding any weird-looking peas)
Place peas in a bowl and cover with water.

Drain bacon on paper towels, while leaving about 1-2 Tablespoons of bacon fat in a pan.

Add onions to the pan and cook until translucent.
Add in garlic and cook until fragrant.
In a large pot, add soaked peas, onions, garlic, and chicken broth.
