Servings: persons

1 lb split peas
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 large red potatoes, diced small (or any thin-skinned potato)
1 small leek, white and light green parts only, thinly sliced
1 roasted garlic clove
2 large celery ribs, and leaves sliced
1 fresh bay leaf, rubbed
1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 large carrot, cut in 1/4-inch coins
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke
2 -3 slices pepper bacon, cooked and crumbled, 2-3 slices tempeh bacon, cooked and crumbled or 1 ham bone
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced or 1 teaspoon dried parsley
2 tablespoons fresh marjoram, minced or 1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
salt, to taste
fresh ground black pepper
fresh stock or water

1
Place split peas in crock pot. Pour enough stock or water to crock pot to fill 2/3 full.
2
In small skillet fry the bacon until crisp. Set aside to drain on paper towel.
3
Pour off most of the bacon fat and lightly saute the onion, potato, leek, garlic and celery until softened, about 3 minutes.
4
Add to crock pot.
5
Add the remaining ingredients to the crock pot. (If using dried herbs, add them now. If using fresh herbs, they are to be stirred in 5 minutes before serving the soup.) Stir in the crumbled bacon.
6
Cook on low 4-5 hours or until split peas and potatoes are tender. Mash lightly with potato masher to puree the soup. Or use a hand held immersion blender to puree the soup.
7
Cool soup then transfer to container and refrigerate.
8
Heat soup up the next day until warm, being careful not to burn. The soup will be thick; add more stock or water to thin if desired. If using fresh herbs, don't forget to stir them in now.
9
Adjust seasonings if necessary and season to taste with salt and black pepper.
10
Sit. Relax. Lick the bowl clean.
