Melt the lard in the pot over low heat. Add small diced pancetta and leave to coat slightly. Then sauté the finely chopped onions until they are translucent. Add diced carrots, celery and finely chopped leeks. Turn up the temperature and sauté everything briefly while stirring. Not too long, otherwise there is a risk of burning.

Add a liter of water and stir everything together. Now add the peas while stirring and then the remaining water. Bring everything to a boil. Then add the vegetable broth (1 teaspoon per 1/4 liter) and marjoram. Let simmer on low heat.
