Pea and Ham Soup (#292)

Pea and Ham Soup (#292)

“This is the soup I make when I have a leftover ham hock. It’s deeply savoury, thick as a blanket, and costs almost nothing.”

What You’ll Need

• 1 ham hock
• 300g split green peas, soaked overnight
• 2 onions
• 2 carrots
• 2 celery stalks
• Bay leaves, thyme
• Black pepper

Let’s Cook — Step by Step

1. Step 1 — Simmer ham hock in water 2 hours. Remove meat, shred.
2. Step 2 — Cook vegetables in stock. Add drained peas.
3. Step 3 — Simmer until peas dissolve into the soup.
4. Step 4 — Stir in shredded ham.
5. Step 5 — Season with pepper — it’s already salty enough from the ham.

Kitchen Tip: Ham hock gives you the stock and the meat — two for one. It’s the best ingredient for this soup.
