A 4- to 5-quart covered crock or bean pot.
One 3 1/2- to 4-pound chicken, cut into 8 parts, with neck and all giblets except liver
2 medium onions, sliced
2 large carrots, cut into 1-inch-thick slices
2 large celery stalks, sliced
2 cups green split peas, washed and picked over
1 teaspoon salt
8 to 10 crushed black peppercorns
1/2 teaspoon dried leaf thyme, or 4 fresh thyme sprigs
2 quarts cold water
Chopped fresh parsley
8 small oval slices of French bread, or 1 1/2 cups croutons, browned

1
Preheat the oven to 375F.
2
Place chicken and giblets in the crock, then top with onions, carrots, celery, and split peas.
3
Add salt, peppercorns, thyme, and water.
4
Cover and bake for about 3 hours or until chicken and vegetables virtually disintegrate.
5
Strain into a clean saucepan, rubbing through as much of the peas and vegetables as possible, but eliminating the giblets and shreds of chicken that by this time should be unpleasantly matted and flavorless.
6
It may be necessary to pour strained soup back over the solids in the sieve to extract all the pea and vegetable puree.
7
Skim off fat, of which there should be very little, reheat, and adjust seasonings.
8
Ladle soup into warm bowls, top with parsley, and pass croutons or bread slices.
9
This soup can be stored, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
10
It can be frozen for up to 3 months.
