1/2 cup red onion, diced
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 - 2 ounce package of Ready Bacon, diced

Once it boils, add the peas and cook for about 2 1/2 minutes

Season with salt and pepper to taste
Cover and blend until smooth
Add the whipping cream and continue blending until really smooth
Serve in a bowl and top with a spoonful of sour cream and some of the red onion/bacon mixture
