Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a flameproof casserole, brown shanks, onion, and garlic in olive oil. Add bay leaf and broth and bring to a boil.

Puree Directions:
In a medium saucepan, cook bacon until it is very crisp. Remove bacon from pan and chop, reserving fat in pan. Set aside the bacon pieces.
Cook onions in bacon drippings until they are sweet and aromatic. Add split peas and stir until they are well coated with the drippings.
Add chicken broth and simmer, covered, 20 to 25 minutes, or until peas are tender, adding additional liquid if necessary.
Transfer pea mixture to a blender and puree. Return puree to the pan, season with salt and pepper, and stir in chopped bacon.
