--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1       lb           Dried yellow peas
   1       tb           Butter
   1       lg           Onion, chopped
   1       tb           Salt
   1       lb           Salt pork
  12       c            Water
   1       t            Dried savory
                        Pepper to taste

  Place peas in a colander; rinse under running water. Put peas in a large
  stockpot; cover with cold water and allow to soak overnight. (If using
split peas, there's no need to presoak.) Drain.      In a large pot, melt
the butter and saute onion until softened, about 2   minutes. Add peas,
salt, salt pork, water and savory. Bring to boil; cover   and simmer for
about 1 1/2 hours or unntil salt pork is tender. Remove   pork; chop and
turn to soup.      Continue simmering soup until peas are tender, about
    30    minutes longer.      Remove 2 cups peas from soup and process in
food processor; stir back into   the soup.      Adjust seasoning and
serve.      Serves 6.
