Soak split peas overnight.
Put split peas, spinach, watercress if available, parsley, onion and tomatoes in a pot with water or stock. (Using home-made stock makes all the difference--gives the soup body and depth.) Bring to the boil.
Cover and simmer over low heat for approximately 1 hour.
Blend using immersion blender.
Stir in lemon juice. Have sour cream (or creme fraiche if you're in France) and tabasco sauce available for guests to add to taste at table.
