In a large saucepan combine broth, water, split peas, ham bone, marjoram, garlic, bay leaf and some black pepper. Bring to boil reduce heat, Cover, simmer for 1 hour stirring occasionally.

Remove ham bone, when cool enough to handle, cut meat from bone and chop in small pieces. Return meat to saucepan, stir in carrots, celery and onions cover and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 20 to 30 minutes until vegetables are tender. Remove bay leaf and enjoy.
