 In a large pot, steam-fry until tender the onion,celery and garlic.  
 Add and simmer for 1 hour water, split peas, tumeric and bay leaf. Add the rest
  of the ingredients.
 Cook just until the noodles are soft and the carrots are tender, adding pepper 
 if you like. If you're fighting a cold, a dash of cayenne in this soup is just 
 what the doctor ordered!
