Add peas and stir to coat.
Add stock and cold water and bring to the boil.
Reduce heat to low and simmer partially covered for 25 to 45 minutes or until peas are tender (see note above).
Remove from heat and process half the soup in a blender or use a stick blender till smooth or do what I did and put the stick blender straight into the pot and process to your liking.
Return to pot or if you just used the stick blender, stir in lemon juice and cook for 3 minutes or until heated through.
While soup was cooking in the first 25 minutes, heat a frying pan over medium high heat and add bacon and cook till crisp or use Barefoot Contessa's Oven Roasted Bacon .
Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel and drain.
Crumble into pieces.
Ladle soup into bowls and top with crumbled bacon and paprika and serve with a roll.
