Gather @yellow split pea{500%g}, @pork shoulder{600%g}, @dried thyme{1%tsp}, @dried marjoram{1%tsp} and @yellow mustard{}.

Drain the soaked peas and rinse well.

Combine peas, pork, @onion{1}, @carrot{1}, thyme, marjoram and @bay leaf{2%leaf} in a large pot; cover with 2 liters water and bring to a boil, skimming off the foam that rises.

Lower to a bare simmer, partially cover, and cook until the peas have collapsed into the broth and the pork is fork-tender, about 75 minutes. ~{75%minutes}

Lift out the pork, dice it, and discard the bay leaves and onion.

Return the diced pork to the pot, season with salt and pepper, and thin with water if the soup is thicker than a hearty stew.

Ladle into bowls with mustard alongside for stirring in at the table.
