Step 1
In a large heavy pot over medium high heat cook the bacon slices until crisp. Remove them to a plate. Drain some fat but leave a fair amount in the pot.

Add the onions, celery and carrots and saute for a couple of minutes in the bacon fat. Add garlic; saute 1 minute.
Step 3
Add the peas, thyme, rosemary, bay leaf, water and stock. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer and cook until peas and vegetables are soft, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Serve or puree the soup with immersion blender. Serve with the crumbled bacon on top. A spoon full of sour cream, or olive oil.
