Steps:

• In a large heavy soup pan melt the margarine over med heat.
• Add the onion and cook, uncovered until soft- about 5 minutes.
• Stir in the broth and water, bring to a boil.
• Add the peas and potatoes adjust the heat so that the mixture bubbles gently, cover, and cook for 30 minutes or until the peas and potatoes are tender.

• In an electric blender or food processor, puree the soup in several batches, whirling each batch for about 15 seconds.
• Return to the pan, set over low heat, add ham and pepper; bring to serving temperature, stirring often.

Steps:

• In a large pan bring the split peas and water to a boil, then simmer until peas are tender, approximately 35-45 minutes (Don't add any salt at this stage or your peas will take a lot longer to cook).
• If any foam develops on the top skim it off regularly.
• In a skillet fry the bacon until brown.
• Transfer the bacon to a large separate pan (to make sure you get all the flavour and all the brown bits, you can pour a little stock into the skillet bring it to the boil and scrape the bottom of your skillet), add the stock, potatoes and leek, bring to the boil and simmer for about 15-20 minutes.
• I like my stock to be quite strong, but you can always add another stock cube/concentrated stock at the end for more flavour, you can also add some smoked sausages or smoked ham to add extra flavour.
• When your peas are cooked, add them and all the liquid (again skimming any foam there might be of the top) to the other pan.
• Season with salt to taste.
• The soup can be served straight away (with or without adding frankfurters) or be kept warm on a low heat for a couple of hours, the longer you leave it the better the flavour, and it'll be even better the next day.
• If you prefer your soup to be smooth use a blender until you reach your preferred consistency. I usually use a potato masher to break up some of the potatoes and peas, but not making it too smooth.
• If you have leftovers and find the soup has thickened too much the next day add some more vegetable stock.
